Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed single storey rear extension would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as 35 and 37 Wood Green, and any features of special historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special historic and architectural interest of the Grade II listed building by undermining the hierarchy and legibility of its plan form, and the identified public benefits were insufficient to outweigh the great weight to be given to this less than substantial harm.

- Development plan policies
- Policy EH9Policy EH10Policy EH11Policy EH12Policy OS4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 197Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 202
