Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the annexe and host dwelling, and whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Barnt Green Conservation Area
What decided it
The additional storey causes less-than-substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area by making the annexe building appear as an overly dominant feature rather than a subservient structure, with no public benefits demonstrated to justify this harm.
