Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the existing building and the area, including the Keynsham Conservation Area

What decided it

The extension would preserve the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and the conservation area because the prominent front-facing bays would remain the dominant features, the building would retain its separate identity, and the extension would not be visually prominent from public views due to the restricted sightlines of the location.
