Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the Milford-On-Sea Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed dormers and rear extensions would appear visually incongruous, discordant and over-dominant, causing less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the conservation area with no public benefits to weigh against this harm.

Less than substantial harm to the conservation area was weighed against no identified public benefits, with great weight given to conservation of the heritage asset, resulting in dismissal.
