Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the significance of heritage assets, including a Grade II* listed building (Appeal A and B)
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of adjoining occupants with particular regard to daylight and sunlight (Appeal A)

What decided it

The substantial set back of the proposed extension behind the bow frontage and screening effect of the parapet and balustrade meant the glass frontage would be largely hidden from public view and cause no harmful effect on heritage significance or living conditions of neighbours.
