- Inspector

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and on the significance of heritage assets, with particular regard to the appeal property as a non-designated heritage asset and the Gerrards Cross Conservation Area
- the living conditions of the occupants of No 97 and No 101 Packhorse Road by reasons of overlooking
What decided it
The loss of a non-designated heritage asset of substantial significance combined with the proposed dwelling's visually obtrusive and discordant appearance within the Conservation Area, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh the heritage harm.
