Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Horsforth Cragg Hill and Woodside Conservation Area
What decided it
The excessively large and dominant rear dormer, combined with the uncharacteristic front porch and inappropriate material choices, would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the conservation area with insufficient public benefits to outweigh the identified less than substantial harm.
