Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed single-storey front extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, a non-designated heritage asset
- Whether sufficient evidence is available to demonstrate that the proposed front extension would not result in instability of the adjoining canal embankment
What decided it
The proposed extension would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Lockhouse as a non-designated heritage asset, and the modest benefits of the proposal were insufficient to outweigh this harm when balanced against the Framework guidance.
