Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Gunter Estate Conservation Area with particular regard to the effect on the significance of a Building of Merit.
What decided it
The removal of the approved 600mm set back and creation of a full-width additional storey would unbalance the narrow building's appearance and detract from the conservation area's character, with the moderate public benefits of one additional dwelling insufficient to outweigh this substantial harm.
