Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal is a minor material amendment
What decided it
The proposal introduces a third extension not included in the original permission description, which cannot be amended under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and the proposal is substantially different in scale and nature from the approved scheme.
The less than substantial harm to the setting of The Mount as a designated heritage asset was weighed against public benefits, of which none were identified, and the private benefit of screening vehicles would not outweigh the harm.
