Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hampton Hill High Street Conservation Area and an identified Building of Townscape Merit (BTM)
- The effect of the proposal on living conditions at the next door property, 12 Park Road, in terms of noise and disturbance
- Whether adequate arrangements would be made to minimise the risk to future occupiers from fire
What decided it
The absence of noise specifications and assessment for the air-conditioning unit meant the applicant failed to demonstrate it would not cause unacceptable noise disturbance to neighbouring residents, whereas the dormer extension's design benefits and compliance with heritage policy justified allowing that element.
