Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing property and surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Far Headingley Conservation Area or preserve the setting of the neighbouring listed buildings
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers of flat 1 with particular regard to privacy and outlook as well as amenity space provision for the wider development
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and setting of listed buildings caused by the scale, form and contemporary styling of the proposed rear extension and dormer window, which was not outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme.
