Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to i) the design of the proposal and ii) protected trees

What decided it

The proposal would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of listed buildings because the extensions would be subservient in scale, consistent with the host properties, and the rear elevation has limited visibility from the surrounding area due to dense boundary vegetation.
