Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Woodgrange Conservation Area and the host dwelling
- The effect of the development on the biodiversity value of the appeal site
What decided it
The development fails to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Woodgrange Conservation Area, causing less than substantial harm to a designated heritage asset which is not outweighed by the limited public benefits of improved living space.
