Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area
  • The effect on the setting of the listed wall

What decided it

The cumulative effect of the extensions across all four elevations would create an incoherent design that would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the immediate area, outweighing the preservation of the listed wall setting.
