Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the locality, including the appeal building, and the setting of nearby non-designated heritage assets
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to loss of privacy and outlook
What decided it
The proposed extension's disproportionate scale, height, bulk, massing and poor quality materials would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the locality and the setting of nearby locally listed buildings, which could not be outweighed by the absence of harm to neighbouring living conditions.
The absence of significant detriment to neighbouring living conditions was insufficient to outweigh the harm caused to the character and appearance of the host building and the character and appearance of the area including the significance of locally listed buildings.
