Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surroundings on Shelford Road

What decided it

The cumulative impact of the proposed garage conversion and extension on the character and appearance of the main house and its surroundings, particularly the increased height, bulk, roof design change, and front dormer, would constitute unacceptable harm that outweighs the principle of sustainable use of housing land.
