Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property, the adjoining terrace of properties of which it forms a part and the area
What decided it
The proposed extension would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the adjoining terrace of locally valued heritage asset properties, with insufficient public benefit to offset the identified less than substantial harm.
The modest benefits of providing additional living accommodation and securing optimum viable use were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the adjoining terrace forming a locally valued heritage asset.
