Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ickenham Village Conservation Area and including the impact on trees
The living conditions of future occupiers of the proposal, with particular regard to the provision of internal space and outlook

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Ickenham Village Conservation Area through discordant rear elevation design changes, and would provide inadequate internal space standards for future occupiers, with limited public benefits insufficient to outweigh these harms.
