Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building known as Linton House, or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses; preserve the settings of surrounding listed buildings; and preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Kersey Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed rear extension would obscure and complicate the rear gable feature, which is a key feature of special architectural interest to the Grade II listed building, thereby failing to preserve its special interest contrary to sections 16(2) and 66(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
