Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the Grade I listed Church of Saint Breaca, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Breage Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal's design features—particularly the symmetrical form, large angular windows, prominent balconies, and formalized parking—would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade I listed Church and the character of the conservation area that could not be justified by the modest social and economic benefits, contrary to NPPF paragraph 202 and the statutory presumptions in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
