The report states: "Sheiling Hall, 15th century former farmhouse (Grade II* Listed Building) located 320m to the north-west of the proposed development site…The position of modern development along the north-west part of Green Lane and vegetation creates a visual and physical obstruction between the building and proposed development site" (6)
