Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

for both appeals, the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area
solely in relation to Appeal B, whether or not adequate living conditions would be created for existing and future users

What decided it

In Appeal A, the unacceptable effect on character and appearance caused by the loss of the hipped roof feature and the obtrusive dormer arrangement; in Appeal B, the failure to create adequate living conditions due to an undersized kitchen and bedrooms with extremely limited outlook.

The modest benefits of additional accommodation and improved housing mix were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance in Appeal A and the failure to create adequate living conditions in Appeal B.
