What decided it

The porch was found to cause less than substantial harm to the listed building's significance with no public benefits to weigh against that harm, so the enforcement notice was upheld only in respect of the porch.

the less than substantial harm caused by the porch was not outweighed by any public benefits, so consent for the porch was refused while all other contested works were found not to be harmful and were permitted or found not to be breaches
