Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal on the designated historic asset
What decided it
The size and depth of the proposed extension would dominate the rear elevation and disrupt the hierarchy of principal rooms within the historic building, causing less than substantial harm to the listed building and conservation area that was not outweighed by the limited public benefits offered.
What the Inspector cited
