Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is 'inappropriate development' in terms of Green Belt policies and, if so, whether the harm by reason of inappropriateness together with any other harm would be clearly outweighed by other considerations
- If not inappropriate, the impact of the proposed development on the surroundings including its effect on trees
What decided it
The awkward juxtaposition of the proposed flat roof against the existing pyramidal roof would harm the appearance of the host building and the character and appearance of the Canons Park Conservation Area, conflicting with policies promoting good design.
The useful additions to the existing house were outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the existing house and its surroundings in the Conservation Area and Historic Park.
