Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the West Hill Road Conservation Area
What decided it
The absence of substantive public benefits to weigh against the less than substantial harm to the conservation area's character and appearance meant the appeal could not succeed.
Less than substantial harm to the conservation area was not outweighed by any substantive public benefits, and personal circumstances held very little weight.
