Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed works on the special interest and heritage significance of the listed building
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether or not it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Widdington Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed extensions would harm the modest scale and character of the listed building and unbalance the semi-detached pair, causing less than substantial harm to heritage significance that was not outweighed by the limited private benefits of the proposal.
