Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposals would preserve the significance of the Grade II listed building known as 26 Milton Abbas and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • The extent to which the proposals would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Milton Abbas Conservation Area

What decided it

The side extension elements would have a dominating effect on the listed building and further break the distinct rhythm of the conservation area, and the identified public benefits were insufficient to outweigh this less than substantial harm.
