Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the character and appearance of the Selly Park Conservation Area
  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupants of the proposed development with regard to amenity space and privacy

What decided it

The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the conservation area from the size and design of the extension, combined with the failure to provide acceptable living conditions with adequate private amenity space and privacy, clearly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of the proposal.
