Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building with particular regard to its status as a non-designated heritage asset

What decided it

The proposal would harmfully diminish the significance of the non-designated heritage asset by unbalancing its compositional form and symmetry, providing no public benefit to outweigh this harm.

The personal benefit of a more practical living environment was outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the non-designated heritage asset and the wider street scene.
