Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the preservation or enhancement of the Crabtree Conservation Area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Crabtree Conservation Area caused by the height, massing, and fenestration of the proposed 3-storey side extension outweighed the limited public benefits of the proposal.
Great weight given to less than substantial harm to the conservation area outweighed the limited weight given cumulatively to the public benefits of one additional dwelling and minor renewable energy provision
