Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of Linthorpe Conservation Area with regard to the design of the extension, the effect of the removal of part of the front boundary wall to create a vehicle access and potential impact on an existing Elm Tree
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety and the free-flow of traffic
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Linthorpe Conservation Area arising from the incongruous gabled roof design and threat to the Elm Tree outweighed the limited personal benefit of increased living space.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area was not outweighed by the limited benefit of increased living space for the appellant.
