Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the architectural integrity of the host property and the visual amenity of the street scene
- the effect of the proposed development on the existing tree which contributes to visual amenity
- whether the proposal can achieve the highest standards of fire safety
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the architectural integrity of the host property and visual amenity of the street scene, combined with the unmitigated threat to the existing tree, outweighed any matters that could be addressed by condition.
