Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the impact of the proposal upon neighbouring amenity
  • the character and appearance of the host dwelling, immediate area and Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal's excessive height, scale and massing would not be subordinate to the host dwelling and would result in less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area, with no public benefits sufficient to outweigh that harm.

The less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area was not outweighed by the public benefits of a private residential extension.
