Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the Listed Building, any features of special architectural interest which it possesses, and the character or appearance of the Steyning Conservation Area
What decided it
The loss of historic fabric combined with the visual discord of the porch design with the building's simple vernacular form, which would undermine historic coherence, could not be justified by the public benefits claimed, which were largely matters of personal preference rather than clear necessity.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- HDPF policy 34SNDP3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 189Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 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.
