Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed first floor extension upon the character and appearance of the dwelling and the Bishop's Stortford Conservation Area
- the effects upon the amenities of the neighbouring occupiers at 17a Grange Road with regard to the potential for any overbearing impact and loss of outlook
What decided it
The high-quality design of the extension, its subservient appearance, and the absence of significant detrimental impacts on neighbouring amenity or conservation area character justified allowing the appeal.
The benefits of providing additional accommodation and high-quality design outweighed any concerns, with no conflict identified with development plan policies or the Framework.
