Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The scale, form and massing of the proposed extension would be excessive and discordant, visually jarring and unacceptably dominating the character of the existing building and its non-designated heritage significance, contrary to development plan policies requiring high quality design that reflects distinctive character and conserves heritage assets appropriately.

Plan policies cited: DP26, DP34, CNP1, CNP10
