Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve the architectural and historic significance of the Grade II listed building known as no 8 Gold Street
What decided it
The design of the proposed garden room would not pay sufficient regard to the traditional character and appearance of the host dwelling and would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building, with no public benefits sufficient to outweigh this harm.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building, afforded considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the public benefits of providing additional living accommodation.
