Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, including whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Shortlands Village Conservation Area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties within Ravens Gate Mews, in respect of outlook and visual amenity
What decided it
The mansard roof form would harmfully alter the character and appearance of the conservation area by introducing an alien feature incompatible with the modest pitched roof forms characteristic of the area, with no public benefits to outweigh this less than substantial harm.
