Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Stratford-Upon-Avon Conservation Area
What decided it
The height and bulk of the proposed extension combined with the increase in ridgeline would create a dominant, unsympathetic feature that would fail to preserve or enhance the Conservation Area character, and the limited public benefits could not outweigh this harm.

- Development plan policies
- CS8CS9CS13BE2BE5BE8
- National Planning Policy Framework
