Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hat and Feathers Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to light
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area by introducing a bulky, incongruous addition that conflicts with the prevailing building heights and horizontal form of the terrace, and this harm could not be outweighed by the public benefits of providing an additional dwelling.
