Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works and development would preserve the listed building, or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
What decided it
The scale and design of the proposed two-storey rear extension would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed buildings as designated heritage assets, and the public benefits of the proposal were insufficient to outweigh the great weight that must be given to their conservation.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SD1LD4DNDP10
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
