Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the unauthorised works preserve the special architectural or historic interest or setting of the listed building, whether they preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area and whether the significance of the heritage assets is harmed
What decided it
The carriage lamp's disproportionate and overly ornate design, elevated positioning and projection create an over-dominant visual effect that harms the uniformity and special interest of the listed building and conservation area, whereas the metal gate and additional railings integrate appropriately with the existing cast-iron railings.
