Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The main issue is the effect of the works upon the character and appearance of the host building and the Great Ryburgh Conservation Area (GRCA) in which it is located.

What decided it

The unauthorised roof alterations and dormer windows caused significant harm to the character and appearance of the host building and the Great Ryburgh Conservation Area, which was not outweighed by any public benefit.

the less than substantial harm to the conservation area was not outweighed by the residential use benefit (already secured by earlier permissions), so the harm prevailed and permission was refused

Framework references: 202

Plan policies cited: Policy EN4, Policy EN8
