Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and on its significance as a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The proposal would cause considerable harm to the character and appearance of the building and detract from its significance as a non-designated heritage asset, contrary to development plan policies and the Extensions and Alterations SPD, and any private benefit from enhanced living accommodation attracts only limited weight.

The limited private benefit from enhanced living accommodation was outweighed by the considerable harm to the character and appearance of the non-designated heritage asset.
