Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the preservation or enhancement of the Stamford Conservation Area

What decided it

The additional massing of the two-storey extension would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area and moderate harm to the character and appearance of the area, which substantial weight could not be outweighed by the very minor public benefits.

the very minor public benefits from improved energy efficiency and local economic benefit did not outweigh the substantial weight given to the less than substantial harm to the conservation area as a designated heritage asset and harm to the non-designated heritage asset

Plan policies cited: Policy EN6, Policy DE1, Stamford Neighbourhood Plan Policy 8, Stamford Neighbourhood Plan Policy 10
