Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal preserves the Grade II listed building 'Shepstone House' or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- whether or not the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cogenhoe Conservation Area
What decided it
The fundamental design flaws of the proposed extension—particularly the flat roof above the eaves line, top-heavy structure, extensive inappropriate glazing, and harmful effects on the building's internal layout—cause less than substantial harm to the listed building and conservation area that outweighs the limited public benefits.
