Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the works on the special architectural and historic interest of this Grade II listed building
  • Whether the works would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the Topsham Conservation Area
  • Whether the works would harm the significance of these designated heritage assets

What decided it

The works would sit well back from the road and behind the rear elevations of both the original building and existing conservatory, maintaining the role of the gap between the terraces and leaving the character of the listed building and conservation area unchallenged.
