Robinia, 18 Blyth Hall, Blyth, Worksop, S81 8HL

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• Appeal A: the effect of the proposed development upon the settings of the listed Church and the Conservation Area (the designated heritage assets); and the character and appearance of the area outside of the Conservation Area, including the host property
• Appeal B: whether the disputed conditions are reasonable and necessary, with particular regard to the effect of the approved development upon the settings of the designated heritage assets; and the character and appearance of the area outside the Conservation Area, including the host property

What decided it

The front extension would intrude into and detract from views of the listed Church at the entrance to the street, causing less than substantial but considerable harm to the setting of a designated heritage asset that cannot be justified by the limited public benefits offered.

the less than substantial but considerable harm to the settings of the listed Church and Conservation Area, to which great weight must be attached, outweighed the limited temporary economic benefits of construction
