Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the original building and its setting

What decided it

The proposed extension, by virtue of its discrete location, careful design, and minimal visual impact on the original building's character and the wider building group, would not conflict with development plan policies or cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance.

Policy BE4Policy H14Policy BE1
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 154
