Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed conservatory on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and its setting in the wider area
What decided it
The small scale, unobtrusive position and matching materials of the conservatory would not detract from the character and appearance of the host dwelling or the wider development, and the removal of permitted development rights means any precedent need not be harmful.
The proposed conservatory would not harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area and would accord with relevant policy requirements in favour of maintaining the appearance of an area, with no other considerations outweighing this accord.
