Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area including the impact upon the Non-Designated Heritage Asset (NDHA) of Ebenezer Chapel
  • Protected species, with particular regard to bats

What decided it

The proposed extension would, through its disproportionate scale and incongruous design, visually dominate and harm the significance of the Non-Designated Heritage Asset and the character of the area, and the absence of an ecological survey meant the impact on protected bat species could not be adequately assessed.
