Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the significance of the Berkhamsted Conservation Area
- whether the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building would be preserved
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 41 Highfield Road and 45 Highfield Road, with particular regard to sunlight, daylight, privacy and outlook
What decided it
The proposed extension would be proportionate in scale and appearance to the host dwelling and local context, would enhance the Conservation Area through window replacement, would preserve the setting of the nearby listed building, and would not cause undue harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants.
