Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area with particular regard to the appeal site's location within the Riverside North Conservation Area
- Whether it has been demonstrated that the proposed development would avoid unacceptable harm to existing trees or provide adequate replacements
What decided it
The proposed extensions would result in less than substantial but high-level harm to the designated heritage asset of the Conservation Area with no public benefits to outweigh that harm, and the applicant failed to demonstrate that the development would avoid unacceptable harm to existing trees or provide adequate replacement planting.
