Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the loss of a unit of accommodation has been sufficiently justified
What decided it
The design quality of the pitched-roof extension and the removal of the unsympathetic flat-roofed element, combined with energy improvements, outweighed the minor harm from the loss of a single 1-bed unit.
The benefits of improved design quality and energy efficiency outweighed the minor harm from the loss of a single 1-bed unit of accommodation.
