Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development preserves the listed building, its setting and any features of special architectural and historic interest that it possesses
- Whether it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the conservation area
What decided it
The substantial and bulky roof extension, with its steep pitch and top-heavy appearance, fails to preserve the special interest of the listed building and the character of the conservation area, and the public benefits of maintaining the property in residential use do not outweigh this heritage harm.
