Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Withington Conservation Area
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling

What decided it

The cumulative effect of the extensions would fail to be subservient to the original dwelling and would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
