Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hillmarton Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 49 and 51 Penn Road in regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The siting, massing and scale of the annexe would dominate the rear garden and erode its open character, causing less than substantial harm to the significance of the Hillmarton Conservation Area that could not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
