Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the Shrewsbury Park Estate Conservation Area
What decided it
The unsympathetic design and materials of the proposed extension would cause harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the wider conservation area that is not outweighed by any public benefits.
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area was not outweighed by any public benefits, as sustainable construction methods could be achieved through alternative designs.
