Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve the grade II listed 1-3 Lower Road or its setting and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

The scale, form and prominence of the proposed extension would substantially harm the significance of the grade II listed building, and the modest public benefits of improved living space could not outweigh the great weight to be attached to this heritage harm.

- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 202
