Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building known as Sycamore Cottage or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and whether the settings of other nearby listed buildings would be preserved

What decided it

The proposed extension's uncharacteristic vertical form and proportions would cause less than substantial but clear harm to the special interest of the Grade II listed building, and the public benefits of the scheme were insufficient to outweigh this heritage harm.
