Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on biodiversity
- whether the proposal would preserve the existing building, a Building of Townscape Merit (BTM), the Grade II listed boundary wall, the setting of Bushy Park, a Grade I listed Registered Park and Garden, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the High Street (Hampton Hill) Conservation Area (CA)
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to privacy and noise
- whether the proposal would accord with the Council's development plan strategy for the loss of employment and office uses
- the effect of the proposal on a nearby tree
What decided it
The form and scale of the proposed rear extension would appear discordant against the modest village character of the Conservation Area and the setting of Bushy Park, causing less than substantial but considerable harm to heritage assets that was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal.
