Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building

What decided it

The substantial dormers with large contemporary glazed openings would be visually discordant features that would fail to preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building and harm the character and appearance of the area, and the claimed environmental benefits were insufficient to outweigh this harm.

Development plan policies: Policy GBA1.2Policy GBA1.5Policy SIE-3Policy SIE-1Policy CDH1.8
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 202Paragraph 203
