Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed works on the special architectural or historic interest of the grade II Listed building
- whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Roydon Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed extension would cause less than substantial harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building by eroding the plan form and overwhelming the retained canopy extension with excessive footprint and size, and no public benefits were identified that could not be achieved by alternative, less harmful means.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM7
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 202
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
