Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Underhill Conservation Area
What decided it
The considerable size and prominent placement of the proposed front rooflight would make it an overly dominant and incongruous feature that would unacceptably harm the architectural integrity of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, and this harm was not justified by or outweighed by the minor public benefits of the proposal.
