Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the Thorpe-le-Soken Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposal on the setting of listed buildings in the vicinity
What decided it
The rear dormer window would be an unduly dominant addition that would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of listed buildings, with no public benefits to outweigh the less than substantial harm.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area and the setting of listed buildings was not outweighed by any evident public benefits, as the proposal would only benefit the applicants' private use of their property.
