Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property, the building, and the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Dunchurch Conservation Area

What decided it

The overall impact of the scheme on the host property and conservation area would be broadly neutral, and the modest benefits in terms of accessibility, usability and energy efficiency outweighed the very limited harm to the significance of the non-designated heritage asset.

Framework references: 216, 57

Plan policies cited: Policy SDC3, Policy SDC1
