Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Great Dunmow Conservation Area
- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building 'Ivy House' and Grade II* listed 'Brook House'
What decided it
The proposal's location in a visually contained backland site at the edge of the conservation area, combined with the unostentatious design of the single-storey extensions using materials and forms that assimilate within the local context, would result in a neutral effect on the listed buildings' setting and preserve the conservation area's character and appearance.
