Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area.

What decided it

The proposed development would integrate well within an area of transitional character and scale, remodelling an existing building that does not positively contribute to the character of the area, thereby providing a modest improvement to the character of the appeal building without harming the surrounding area.
