Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area

What decided it

The bulk, scale and siting of the proposed dormers and rooftop features would unacceptably erode the subservient character of the outbuilding and fail to preserve the setting of the nearby listed buildings, causing less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area that is not outweighed by public benefits.
