Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Grantchester Conservation Area
What decided it
The 2 storey rear extension would substantially harm the proportions, scale and architectural quality of the terrace and its contribution to the conservation area, and the claimed public benefits of enabling maintenance and viability were not sufficiently substantiated to outweigh this harm.
