Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the host building and Northwold and Cazenove Conservation Area
- The residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers at 163 Osbaldeston Road with regard to loss of light, increased sense of enclosure and overbearing impact
What decided it
The proposal would result in less than substantial harm to the conservation area through visually incongruous roof alterations and an oversized rear extension contrary to local design guidance, with no public benefits to outweigh the harm and unacceptable impacts on neighbouring residential amenity.
