Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed side/rear roof extension on the character and appearance of the host property and the wider Wandsworth Common Conservation Area
What decided it
The established character of Wakehurst Road, where similar roof extensions are now common and not harmful to the street scene, combined with the set-back and set-down design ensuring the extension appears subordinate and largely screened from public views, means the proposal preserves the character and appearance of the conservation area.
