Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposals upon the character and appearance of the host property, the terrace of which it forms part, and the Watling Estate Conservation Area
What decided it
The modest scale, sympathetic design, and subordinate appearance of the first floor side extension, combined with the roof alterations restoring the original hipped form characteristic of the terrace, would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and comply with the statutory test.
