Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the area, including whether or not it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Welwyn Garden City Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed extensions, set mainly to the rear with matching materials and hipped roofs, would not harm the character and appearance of the host property or the conservation area, particularly given that neighbouring properties have similar large rear extensions.
