Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would conserve or enhance the character or appearance of the host building and the Bowdon Conservation Area
What decided it
The scale, form and siting of the proposed extension would harm the character of the non-designated heritage asset and erode the qualities for which it is identified as a positive contributor to the conservation area, and this harm could not be outweighed by the limited benefit of reinstating a missing chimney.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area and non-designated heritage asset was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, particularly the reinstatement of a missing chimney.
