Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area which is within The Rhyddings Conservation Area
What decided it
The extension's dual-pitched roof design, modest height, and scale reflecting nearby extensions would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area despite disrupting the visual rhythm of paired outriggers.
The modest harm to the visual rhythm of the paired outriggers was outweighed by the justification of disability need and the preservation of overall conservation area character in the context of existing alterations.
