Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed first and second floor extension would preserve or enhance the appearance of the Sefton Park Conservation Area (SPCA)
- the effect of the proposed first and second floor extension on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook
What decided it
The depth and bulk of the proposed extension, combined with its non-traditional materials, would fail to preserve or enhance the Sefton Park Conservation Area and would unacceptably harm neighbouring occupiers' outlook, with the limited public benefits not outweighing the harm to the heritage asset.
