Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and whether or not it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Ermington Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area by removing historic features that contribute to the coherence of the terrace, and the limited public benefits do not outweigh this less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset.
The limited public benefits from construction phase economic input and accommodation of a larger family, which are mainly personal to the appellant and occupiers, are insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the conservation area.
