Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the building and the Sutherland Grove Conservation Area
What decided it
The development materially harmed the character and appearance of the conservation area and the paired semi-detached dwellings through its increased height, contrasting materials, loss of bargeboards, and ornate circular window, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh this less than substantial harm to the heritage asset.
