Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of the appeal building as a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The proposed alterations to the main dwelling comply with heritage and design policies and would better reveal the significance of the non-designated heritage asset, but the proposed garage/home office with prominent large windows would fail to preserve the Conservation Area character and result in harm that is not outweighed by its limited benefits.
