Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the existing dwelling, as well as the surrounding locality, with special regard to the Sheen Common Drive Conservation Area
What decided it
The disproportionate bulk, massing and depth of the proposed extensions would harm the architectural authenticity and integrity of the existing dwelling and cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area, which is not outweighed by the public benefits claimed.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area was not outweighed by the public benefits of providing an optimal viable use and short-term employment opportunities, which could be achieved through a more appropriately designed scheme.
