Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Northchapel Conservation Area and the role it plays in the cultural heritage of the South Downs National Park

What decided it

The unsatisfactory relationship between the roof of the proposed extension and the existing catslide roof would harm the special architectural interest of the listed building and the character of the conservation area, with no public benefits to outweigh this less than substantial harm.
