Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling, the area and the setting of No. 1 Ladyegate Road (No.1), which is a grade II listed building
What decided it
The width, roof and ridge line of the proposed first floor side extension would appear overly large and disproportionate to the host dwelling, harming its character and the setting of the adjacent grade II listed building No.1, with no public benefits sufficient to outweigh this harm.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building No.1 was not outweighed by the local employment and economic benefits of the proposal.
