Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on heritage assets and whether the proposed development and works would preserve a Grade II listed building, The Old Mill House, and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses; and whether the scheme would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hellidon Conservation Area
What decided it
The scale of the proposed extension would not retain subservience to the dwelling and would unduly dominate the rear elevation, competing with and detracting from the listed building's architectural quality and character, and this harm could not be sufficiently mitigated by planning conditions or outweighed by the public benefits claimed.
