Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, having specific regard to the locally listed status
What decided it
The existence of an extant consent for a materially similar development, treated as a significant fallback position, combined with the retention of the front façade and sensitive reconstruction of side elevations, meant the proposed development would not harm the heritage significance or character and appearance of the area.
The Inspector balanced the heritage significance of the locally listed building against the fallback position of the extant consent and concluded that the proposed development would sustain the significance of the non-designated heritage asset and not harm character and appearance.
