Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, the wider streetscene, the Golcar Conservation Area, and the setting of nearby listed buildings
- the living conditions of the neighbours at No.21 Rock Fold, with regards overlooking and privacy
- parking provision and highway safety
What decided it
The extension causes significant harm to both the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of listed buildings, and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overlooking and loss of privacy, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
