Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Sevenoaks High Street Conservation Area
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to outlook, light and overbearing to 148 High Street
What decided it
The proposed third floor addition, clad in zinc and extending above the existing parapet, would create a disproportionate and incongruous rear extension that would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the Sevenoaks High Street Conservation Area, and the modest public benefits of seven new dwellings would not outweigh this harm.
