Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the Gretton Conservation Area
What decided it
The scale, siting and design of the proposed extensions would cause less than substantial but significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, with insufficient public benefit to outweigh that harm.
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Gretton Conservation Area was weighed against the appellant's desire to provide additional living accommodation and secure the property's optimum viable use, but the harm outweighed the benefits.
