Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on designated heritage assets, namely the setting of the adjacent Grade II listed buildings (Wynn House and Nos. 41, 43, 45 and 47 Swan Street) and the character or appearance of the Boxford Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed extension would be subservient to the existing dwelling, appropriately offset from the boundary with Wynn House, and would not dominate the setting of the adjacent listed buildings or alter the neutral contribution of the appeal property to the conservation area.
