Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and area
- the effect of the proposed development on the setting and significance of the Loose Valley Conservation Area and the Bockingford Court grade II listed building
What decided it
The harmful scale, form and design of the proposed extension would significantly harm the character and appearance of the host building and area, and would cause less than substantial harm to the setting and significance of designated heritage assets which was not outweighed by public benefits.
