Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, including whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Netherseal Conservation Area, together with an assessment of its effect on the significance of designated and non-designated heritage assets
What decided it
The courtyard extension would fail to preserve the historic rural character and setting of the Building of Interest and the Conservation Area through its layout, scale, location and contemporary design, resulting in less than substantial harm to medium extent that outweighs the limited public benefit.
