Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the impact of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the existing converted dwelling and its plan form

What decided it

The proposal would not result in a disproportionate increase in size compared to the existing building, and the clear legibility and separation between old and new achieved through contrasting materials and contemporary design would respect the traditional character and appearance of the converted dwelling without substantially outweighing any adverse effects.

the benefits of the extension, which provides an efficient central connection and preserves the chronology and significance of the original converted building through clear visual legibility, were not substantially outweighed by the adverse effect of the T-shaped form differing from the linear plan form
