Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of 41 and 43 St Annes Road as a pair of properties, with particular regard to the conservation area location

What decided it

The proposed extension would have an unacceptably harmful effect on the character and appearance of the pair of semi-detached properties and would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area.

The private benefit of additional accommodation for the appellant's growing family did not outweigh the less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area, and there were no public benefits to weigh in the balance.
