Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building (No 5) and the area, including whether it would enhance or preserve the character and appearance of the Barnt Green Conservation Area and its effect on the setting of non-designated heritage assets

What decided it

The proposed rear extensions and half-hipped roof would undermine the historic and aesthetic value of the appeal property as a NDHA and harm the setting and significance of the neighbouring NDHAs, with minor public benefits insufficient to outweigh the identified harm to the conservation area.
