Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Cranswick Conservation Area (CCA)
What decided it
The additional depth of insulated render to the front elevation would appear incongruous with the character of adjacent cottages and be clearly visible from The Green, causing less than substantial harm to the conservation area that outweighs the moderate benefits of energy efficiency.
The moderate public benefits of reduced energy consumption did not outweigh the great weight to be attached to the conservation of heritage assets.
