Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ealing Green Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 65 and 67 Mattock Lane, with particular regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The proposed part first floor extension would be the only rear extension of its kind at first floor level amongst the row of six houses, creating a noticeably anomalous appearance that would undermine the coherent architectural rhythm and visual harmony of the conservation area asset, with benefits that do not outweigh this heritage harm.
