Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, 118, 120 and 122 Main Street, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • The extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Swithland Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed extension would be disproportionately large relative to the modest listed building and would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to both the listed building's special interest and the conservation area's character and appearance, which could not be justified by the limited public benefits.

Framework references: 197

Plan policies cited: CS2, CS14, EV/1
