Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the Dover House Conservation Area
the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 4 Parkstead Road, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial but significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the uniformity of the terrace, with no identified public benefits to outweigh this harm, and would also cause harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through increased overlooking.

The private benefits of extending the property to meet the appellant's needs and assisting accessibility were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
