Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the setting of the nearby Grade II listed buildings at 10-18 Terrace Row and Calder Cottage and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Whalley Conservation Area.
What decided it
The proposed window on the eastern elevation would unbalance the symmetry of the existing openings on this prominent gable elevation and form a discordant feature causing harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of nearby listed buildings, whereas the other proposed works would preserve these qualities.
