Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Stanton Conservation Area
What decided it
The scale and design of the proposed extensions would fundamentally erode the historic character of the cottage and unacceptably undermine its architectural and historic interest and contribution to the conservation area, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh this harm to a designated heritage asset.
The harm to the conservation area, a matter of considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the identified public benefits, which were limited to time-limited local employment and private accommodation benefits
