Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed side extension and balcony on the subject cottage and the row of similar cottages, including the setting of the Grade II listed cottages, and the general locality
- Whether the rear garden of the appeal property would meet the requirements of the current and future occupiers for external amenity space
What decided it
The proposed development would cause no more than minor changes to the character and appearance of the heritage assets, with the side extension actually improving the existing fenestration and being neutral to beneficial to the setting of the listed cottages.
