Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the changes would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the area including the Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed changes, particularly the enlarged dormer windows and timber cladding on the prominent street-facing elevation, would harm the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and fail to preserve or enhance its significance, with moderate public benefits insufficient to outweigh this heritage harm.
