Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area, including the Ruislip Village Conservation Area
What decided it
The extremely steep pitch of the proposed crown roof element would create a bulky, incongruous appearance that would harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the Ruislip Village Conservation Area, and the limited public benefits of the extension do not outweigh this harm.
The limited public benefits associated with constructing a rear extension did not outweigh the less than substantial harm identified to the character of the conservation area and the host building
