Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed dormer extension on the character and appearance of the Church Road Conservation Area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset (the conservation area) was not outweighed by the public benefit of providing one additional dwelling, particularly given that the Council can demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply and it is uncertain whether the dormer is the sole means of achieving that benefit.
