Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development upon the setting of nearby Listed Buildings
What decided it
The proposal would fail to appear subordinate to the host dwelling due to its height and dormer feature, rendering it incongruous in appearance and causing less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the designated heritage asset was not outweighed by any public benefits, resulting in dismissal of the appeal.
