Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
  • whether it would preserve and enhance the character and appearance of the Painswick Conservation Area (PCA)

What decided it

The moderate harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the less than substantial harm to the significance of the Painswick Conservation Area, which would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of additional living space, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan.
