Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the character or appearance of the West Hill Road Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced
  • the effect of the proposed development on trees

What decided it

The subservient design and appropriate detailing of the extension, combined with adequate replacement tree planting, ensured preservation of the Conservation Area's character while maintaining a reasonable gap between properties.
