- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure

- Inspector
- Hobbs J
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to the provision of internal space (Appeal B only)
What decided it
The proposals would cause less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area's character and appearance through incongruous and dominant dormer design, and this harm was not outweighed by the moderate weight given to housing benefits; additionally, Appeal B failed to provide acceptable living conditions due to inadequate floor-to-ceiling heights.
