Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including through the loss of a non-designated heritage asset
What decided it
The total loss of a non-designated heritage asset that contributes significantly to the character and appearance of the streetscene, which could be avoided through the extant extension approval, outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits of the proposal.
The modest benefits of three dwellings to housing supply and economic benefits from construction and occupation did not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance arising from the total loss of the non-designated heritage asset
