The key issue was the impact on the character or appearance of the Conservation Area from interrupting historic wall fabric.
Environment Policy 35
Requires development in Conservation Areas to preserve or enhance character or appearance. The proposal could be considered contrary as it interrupts historic wall fabric, but was approved due to existing precedents of accesses, limited visibility from parking, and no objection from Registered Building Officer.
Environment Policy 32
Prohibits extensions or alterations to Registered Buildings that detrimentally affect their special architectural or historic interest. The rear wall is not Registered but within curtilage; demolition accepted as it would not harm the building's character, supported by Registered Building Officer.
