Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing building, terrace and the Central Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with specific regard to light and noise

What decided it

The proposed extension would be disproportionate in scale and out of keeping in design with the original terrace, thereby detracting from the character and appearance of the Central Conservation Area in conflict with the development plan.
