Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance Church Street Conservation Area, including landscaping and trees

What decided it

The proposed three-storey side extension and rear balcony would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Church Road Conservation Area through their discordant design, insubordinate scale, and incompatible materials, which cannot be outweighed by the limited public benefits of the scheme.
