Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Great Malvern Conservation Area
- Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, having particular regard to low eaves height and outlook
What decided it
The development would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area through the introduction of a disproportionate amount of glazing to the garage front elevation and roof slope, and this harm was not outweighed by the moderate benefits of providing one additional residential unit.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Great Malvern Conservation Area was weighed against the moderate economic and social benefits of providing an additional residential unit, with the harm outweighing the benefits.
