Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the development on archaeology
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents from the flue extraction system

What decided it

The proposal fails to respect the character and appearance of the area through poor design and incongruous appearance, lacks adequate archaeological assessment, and fails to provide sufficient details of the flue extraction system to demonstrate it would not harm neighbouring residents.
