Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the appeal site and the Roxeth Hill Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed hip-to-gable conversion would cause less-than-substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Roxeth Hill Conservation Area that would not be outweighed by the private benefit of additional accommodation, and would fail to comply with the statutory duty under section 72 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
the private benefit of additional accommodation was outweighed by the less-than-substantial harm to the significance of the Roxeth Hill Conservation Area and the statutory duty to preserve or enhance its character and appearance
