Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Park Conservation Area, including its effect on trees
- the effect of the development on highway safety
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 17 Warrington Road, in respect of overlooking
What decided it
The single storey front extension would result in less than substantial but considerable harm to the conservation area with no public benefits sufficient to outweigh it, and the garage location would create unacceptable highway safety risks.
The modest economic benefits during construction were outweighed by the less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of the Park Conservation Area.
