Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of host property and the surrounding area
whether the proposed development would be safe for future occupiers, with particular regard to fire safety

What decided it

The extensive footprint of the ground floor extension would be an overly dominant and disproportionate addition with no public benefits to justify the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area.

Less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of a non-designated heritage asset was not outweighed by any public benefits, resulting in dismissal of the side and rear extensions.
