Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area, having particular regard to the High Weald National Landscape

What decided it

The proposed extension, by reason of its contemporary design, materials, subservient scale, and ability to better reveal the historic fabric of the non-designated heritage asset while respecting the High Weald National Landscape, would preserve rather than harm the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area.
