Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Kingsbridge Conservation Area and the setting of nearby listed buildings, principally Nos. 28 and 30 Fore Street and the Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart
- The living conditions of the occupiers of No. 28 Fore Street, with particular regard to privacy, outlook and daylight
What decided it
The proposed extension's incompatible modern design (aluminium frames and timber cladding) would cause less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area and listed building settings that could not be justified by the limited public benefits, combined with unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions through loss of outlook, daylight and privacy.
