Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Astwith Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed extension would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Astwith Conservation Area through its discordant design and scale, and the modest public benefits do not outweigh this heritage harm.
