Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the extension at rear second floor level would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Coldharbour Conservation Area
What decided it
The extended outrigger would be a very bulky, overly-dominant and incongruous feature that would harm the less-than-substantial but considerable significance of the conservation area, and the moderate benefits of enhanced living accommodation do not outweigh this harm.
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of the conservation area outweighed the moderate benefits of enhanced and enlarged living accommodation in an accessible location.
