Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the Bladon Conservation Area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Bladon Conservation Area caused by the garage and extensions, when weighed against the limited public benefits, outweighed the proposal under paragraph 202 of the Framework, although the front porch was severable and acceptable.
The less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset attracted great weight and was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of improved accommodation and storage for a single property
