Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the Tavistock Conservation Area and the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site.
What decided it
The poor form and fenestration of the flat-roofed element would be easily visible from the road and would have a harmful impact on the streetscene, causing less than substantial harm to the conservation area with no public benefits to outweigh it.
The less than substantial harm to the Tavistock Conservation Area and World Heritage Site was not outweighed by any public benefits, as the proposal would solely benefit the occupiers of the existing dwelling.
