Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the development upon living conditions for users of the adjacent dwelling 'Winbury'

What decided it

The proposed roof conversion would be a proportionately designed form that would not detract from the character and appearance of the area and would not cause unacceptable overbearing impact on neighbouring amenity.

Plan policies cited: Policy DM35 (Placemaking and Design Quality) of the Wycombe District Local Plan (Adopted August 2019), Householder Planning and Design Guidance SPD Adopted January 2020

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
