Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development, and in particular the proposed first floor extension above the garage and the proposed solar panels, on the character and appearance of the local area, including on existing high amenity trees, as well as on the setting of the adjoining Bonchurch Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed first floor extension would be a subordinate addition that would not detract from the scale and proportions of the existing dwelling, and the protected trees could be accommodated without material impact, allowing the development to respect the character and appearance of the local area and conservation area setting.
