Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, 'The Big House' (Ref: 1054195), and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Whittington Conservation Area
- The effects of the proposal on protected species, having regard to bats
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special historic interest of the Grade II listed building as the extension would be an unduly dominant addition that would detract from the building's traditional roof and its features, and the private benefits identified did not constitute sufficient public benefits to outweigh this harm.
