Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area, having particular regard to the effect upon the South Stoke Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II* listed Church of St James
- whether the proposal would adversely affect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to overlooking and loss of privacy
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets (the Conservation Area and the setting of the listed church) was not clearly and convincingly justified and was not outweighed by the minor public benefits of the proposal.
