Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the setting of the grade II listed building, and the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The anthracite grey facing material harmfully dominates the character and appearance of the surrounding area and unacceptably harms the setting of the adjacent listed building, with insufficient public benefits to justify or outweigh this harm.
