Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Fulwood Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed extensions would have a distinctly contemporary appearance with unsympathetic design features that would significantly harm the character and appearance of the conservation area, with no public benefits to outweigh this less than substantial harm.
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Fulwood Conservation Area was not outweighed by any public benefits.
