Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the Lambton Road Conservation Area within which it sits
What decided it
The proposed extension would harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and fail to preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area, conflicting with development plan policies, and the appellant's arguments did not outweigh this harm.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area was weighed against the public benefits of the proposal; the appellant identified no specific public benefits and the provision of larger dwellings did not justify the unsympathetic addition, therefore the harm was not outweighed.
Plan policies cited: DM DM2, DM DM3, DM DM4, CS 14
