Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the locality and the Canons Park Conservation Area (CPCA)
What decided it
The limited public benefits of additional on-site parking fail to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Canons Park Conservation Area caused by the introduction of prominent hard surfacing in the front garden.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Canons Park Conservation Area was weighed against the limited public benefits of additional on-site parking, with great weight given to conservation; the harm was not outweighed by the benefits.
