Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the wider Ravenscourt and Starch Green Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed extension would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area by filling the open space above the garages that is a positive feature of the streetscene, and would not be subservient to the host property, with no public benefits to outweigh the harm.
