Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the host property which is a non-designated heritage asset
What decided it
The proposed extension would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the non-designated heritage asset through its unsympathetic design, loss of architectural detailing, and failure to respect the scale, proportions and character of the host property.
The internal functional benefits to the occupiers and absence of neighbour objection were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the non-designated heritage asset.
