Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of High Thatch, which is a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The proposal's incongruous design, scale and mass, particularly the substantial rear wing competing with the thatched front elevation, would harm the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of the non-designated heritage asset High Thatch, with public benefits not outweighing this harm.
