Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area including the Graham Road and Mapledene Conservation Area
- The effect on highway safety and parking provision
What decided it
The disproportionate width of the proposed extension and its incongruous design would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the limited public benefits do not outweigh the great weight that must be given to conservation of the heritage asset.
