Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with specific regard to the effect on the non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The rear elevation makes only a very limited contribution to the non-designated heritage asset's significance, such that the less than substantial harm from the proposed bi-folding doors is outweighed by the balanced judgment required under NPPF paragraph 209.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy ENV 2Policy ENV 1
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 209Paragraph 16

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.
