Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property, local area, and that of the Belmont Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed dormer extension and rooflights would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, with no public benefits identified to outweigh this harm.
