Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be harmful to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene, and if the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Fulwood Conservation Area

What decided it

The combination of the reduction of the gap between the appeal property and its neighbour, the visibility of the side elevation from the north, and the size of the extension in a prominent position within the conservation area would significantly harm the character and appearance of the conservation area.
