Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as 'Dane Cottage', and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The proposed porch would fail to preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building by reason of its size, prominence, roof form, and failure to respect the building's architectural composition, and the limited public benefits arising from the proposal are insufficient to outweigh this harm.

The low-level harm to the special interest of the listed building, which is a matter of considerable importance and weight under the Framework, outweighs the limited public benefits comprising modest economic benefit and primarily private benefits of improved accessibility and functionality.
