Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal proposal preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Lark Lane Conservation Area and its effect on the significance of the designated heritage asset

What decided it

The unsympathetic concrete roof tiles fail to preserve the character, appearance and significance of the Conservation Area, and the private financial and energy benefits do not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset.
