Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of No. 82, the wider area, and heritage assets, namely upon the Topsham Conservation Area and the setting of nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed building, combined with the lack of evidence that the completed works were the only means of achieving structural and thermal requirements, outweighs the public benefits of stabilisation.
