Core Planning Reasoning
The proposed development is recommended for a grant of permission as it would not materially or adversely affect the character and setting of the host Protected Structure or the surrounding Residential Conservation Area, and constitutes an appropriate contemporary architectural response that maintains the integrity of the historic building.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The revised contemporary design is considered high-quality and subservient in height and volume to the host Protected Structure, effectively preserving the building's historical integrity.
- The demolition of non-original 1980s extensions is justified to facilitate a more qualitative architectural addition that supports the long-term residential use and energy efficiency of the property.
- The development qualifies as 'minor works' under Flood Risk Management guidelines and, subject to technical conditions, does not pose an unacceptable risk to the site or neighboring lands.
