Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the locally listed building, with particular respect to the first floor rear element and its roof and the roof above the two storey side additions
What decided it
The moderate harm to the non-designated heritage asset through loss of the stepped roofline and increased prominence of the buildings in the streetscene outweighs the very limited housing contribution, as the development would not create any new dwellings.
The very limited contribution to housing need does not outweigh the public and permanent harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the non-designated heritage asset.
