Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the height of the proposed extension and the size and location of the proposed garage/carport on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- The effects on the setting of the Berkhamsted Conservation Area, which is a designated heritage asset
- The effect of the proposed carport on a beech tree within the appeal site
What decided it
The proposed garage/carport would be a visually unacceptable, prominent structure that would harm the character and appearance of the area and cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the Berkhamsted Conservation Area, with no public benefits to justify this harm.
