Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the Hertford Conservation Area
  • the effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings
  • the effect of the development on the highway system

What decided it

The rear location of the dormer windows, combined with the varied character of the surrounding conservation area and the site's accessibility to public transport and town centre facilities, meant the development would not cause material harm to conservation area character, neighbour amenity, or highway safety.
