Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and whether it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Curbar Conservation Area
  • The living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers in relation to privacy and massing

What decided it

The proposal's limited visibility from public vantage points combined with its subservient design that respects the host dwelling's key features meant it would preserve the conservation area's character and not harm neighbouring living conditions.
