Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development and works preserve the significance of the Grade II listed building known as Tudor Cottage, and preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Bradford Abbas Conservation Area
What decided it
The replacement conservatory's excessive scale, height and design fail to respect the traditional design of the listed building and cause less than substantial harm to its significance and that of the conservation area, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
The private benefits of additional residential accommodation were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building and the special interest of the Bradford Abbas Conservation Area.
