Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the property, the street scene and the Rothwell Conservation Area, and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area caused by the disproportionate appearance of the extended roof and the substantial brick expanse above the first-floor windows, which would not be outweighed by any identified public benefits.
The limited weight attached to the appellant's personal circumstances and need for further accommodation was insufficient to outweigh the harm caused to the character and appearance of the property and the conservation area.
