Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Aldersbrook Conservation Area and Lake House Estate
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area caused by the dormer and rooflights is not outweighed by the private benefit of providing additional family accommodation.
The less than substantial harm to the heritage asset was weighed against the public benefits of the proposal; the private benefit of accommodation for a growing family, even if considered a public benefit, would have minimal effect on the national shortage of family homes and does not outweigh the harm.
