- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building known as the Queens Head Public House and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of other heritage assets
What decided it
The appeal building's status as a prominent double-fronted corner public house with greater scale than adjoining terraces, combined with its existing mansard roof and visual separation from the Chaseley Street terrace, permitted a sympathetic mansard extension provided it responded appropriately to local characteristics, which the proposed design achieved through its lower height, inset form, and matching materials.
