Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Warberries Conservation Area and the effect on the character and appearance of the dwelling and area
What decided it
The two-storey rear extension would remain subservient to the existing dwelling due to site topography and would not erode the spaciousness of the mature gardens, and the fenestration alterations accord with design variations within the conservation area.
