Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed extensions would preserve the special architectural or historic interest of the adjacent Listed Building and its setting and their effect on the character and appearance of the Abbotts Ann Conservation Area
  • The effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance on the immediate locality
  • Whether any harms identified would be outweighed by other considerations so as to justify the development

What decided it

The identified less than substantial but significant heritage harm to the setting and significance of the Listed Building and Conservation Area, when weighed against minimal public benefits, clearly outweighed the justification for the development.
