Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the hip to gable roof extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area, including the Ingersoll and Arminger Conservation Area
- The effect of the hip to gable roof extension on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No 4 Ethelden Road, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area caused by the incongruous hip to gable roof extension, which would diminish the symmetry and rhythm of the terraced streetscene, could not be outweighed by any public benefits.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area was not outweighed by any public benefits, as the proposal would only provide private benefit through increased accommodation with no evidence of necessity for the property's optimum viable use.
