Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development and/or works would preserve a Grade II listed building, Dothill House, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • The effect on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties with particular reference to noise and disturbance, overlooking and privacy

What decided it

The cumulative effect of the unauthorised works, each causing less than substantial harm to the listed building's significance through inappropriate materials and loss of historic fabric, with no identified public benefits to outweigh that harm.

The benefits of modern living conditions and financial investment in the property did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance and special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building caused by the unauthorised works.
