Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Walkern Conservation Area

What decided it

The poor detailing shown on the submitted plans, particularly the modern-style front doors and crude detailing of the rear extension, would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the conservation area, and no public benefits were identified to outweigh this harm.
