Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and upon the significance of the Chorleywood Common Conservation Area which is a designated heritage asset

What decided it

The loss of the well-enclosed and greened foregarden through replacement with open hardstanding would degrade the contribution of the terraced dwelling group to the character and appearance of the conservation area, and this harm outweighs the modest benefit of providing off-street parking.
