Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the ground floor, 1st floor rear extension and inclusion of a front rooflight on the character and appearance of the host property; and whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the CA
- the effect of the proposed raised patio on the living conditions of the occupants of 22 The Crossways (No 22), with particular regard to privacy
- the effect of the proposed single-storey rear extension on the living conditions of the occupants of No 22, with regard to outlook
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area caused by the front rooflight and single-storey rear extension, combined with the unacceptable privacy impact of the raised patio on neighbouring occupants, outweighed the private benefits of additional accommodation.
