Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the development on the significance of a Grade II listed building, 'Old Row Cottages, 3-17, Pool View', having regard to its setting
- The extent to which the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Horsehay and Spring Village Conservation Area
What decided it
The use of modern materials and finishes in the replacement wall, which are incompatible with the traditional vernacular character of the listed building and Conservation Area, cannot be justified by the structural benefits of replacement alone in the absence of consideration of more sympathetic alternatives.
