Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Westcombe Park Conservation Area

What decided it

The light well and railings would appear as an incongruous and uncharacteristic addition that would erode the visual uniformity and character of the conservation area, and the private benefits of additional living space do not outweigh the less-than-substantial but considerable harm to the heritage asset.

Less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, of considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the private benefit of additional living space to the appellants
