  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host building and the rural locality, bearing in mind the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Blaston Conservation Area and whether it would have any implications for the setting of the Grade 2 Listed Building at the Church of St Giles or the Scheduled Monument at the manorial site west of the Church of St Giles

What decided it

The proposed extensions would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Blaston Conservation Area with no significant public benefits to outweigh that harm, conflicting with the development plan.
