Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the extension on relevant designated and non-designated heritage assets, with particular regard to the external materials
What decided it
The white UPVC roof lanterns with disproportionately substantial frames created an inappropriate and visually intrusive feature that caused less than substantial but material harm to designated heritage assets and a non-designated heritage asset, which was not outweighed by the public benefits of the development.
