Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that the works would have on the special architectural or historic interest of the grade II listed Carrington Grange, and on the character or appearance of the Milford-on-Sea Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed extension's weak architectural detailing and ill-proportioned design would fail to preserve the special interest of the listed building and the character of the conservation area, and the private benefits would not outweigh the heritage harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM1
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.
