Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal dwelling, the terrace of which it forms part and that of the Crabtree Conservation Area
- The living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers with reference to basement proximity to boundaries
What decided it
The proposal would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area through a dominating and incongruous mansard extension at an end-of-terrace location, and would fail to protect neighbouring living conditions by extending the basement to property boundaries in breach of Policy DC11.
