Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the conservation area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The proposed first floor side extension would result in less than substantial but high-level harm to the conservation area with no public benefits to outweigh it, and would be overbearing and visually intrusive to neighbouring occupiers.
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, characterised as less than substantial harm at a high level, outweighed any benefits of the proposal, with no public benefits identified to justify the harm.
