Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Amble Conservation Area
What decided it
The large areas of glazing and increased massing of the extension would be discordant with the predominantly blank gables and simple, modestly scaled dwellings that characterise the conservation area, causing significant harm that outweighs the minor public and personal benefits of the proposal.
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area outweighed the comparatively minor public benefits and personal benefits to the appellant.
