Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Harpenden Conservation Area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the architectural interest of the locally listed building was not outweighed by the very modest public benefit of providing additional housing accommodation.
