Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development/works would preserve the Grade II listed 52 Scotgate and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses; and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Stamford Conservation Area
What decided it
The retention of the large metal extraction flue, which visually jars against the simple vernacular palette of the listed building and harms the appearance of the Conservation Area, combined with insufficient detail to assure the air conditioning unit relocation would not damage the building's fabric, means the proposals fail to preserve the significance of the designated heritage assets as required by the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and NPPF paragraph 199.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EN6
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 202
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.
