Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed three-storey extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the setting of the Bakewell Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the host building by introducing a large, non-subordinate extension that lacks respect for the dominance of the original building, contrary to the development plan.
The harm to the character and appearance of the host building outweighed the personal benefits to the appellant and other considerations, with no material considerations indicating the decision should be made other than in accordance with the development plan.
