Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having special regard to the desirability of preserving the setting of nearby listed buildings; the effect of the proposal on the setting of the Mayfield and Coggins Mill Conservation Area; and the effect of the proposal on the High Weald National Landscape
What decided it
The inharmonious architectural design of the proposed extensions, particularly the corner turret and mock-Tudor detailing, would harmfully discord with the traditional character of the area and fail to preserve the setting of nearby listed buildings and the conservation area, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh this heritage harm.
