®Planning appeal decision
31 Granby Hill, BRISTOL, BS8 4LT
a loft conversion annex within the existing property. This will involve rebuilding the roof structure to create adequate living space, whilst also improving the quality and energy efficiency of the whole building. The proposed loft conversion annex will include an external entrance that allows for easier access to the loft level for elderly relatives to live at 31 Granby Hill. To fit within the conservation area the proposed development preserves the existing chimney features and makes only modest changes to the roof form to create the additional accommodation

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the conservation area
- The effect of the proposal on the setting of the grade II listed buildings at 27 and 29 Granby Hill
- If any harm is caused in respect of the above issues whether such harm is outweighed by personal circumstances and the need for the proposed development
What decided it
The considerable increase in roof height and massing would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed buildings, which carries considerable weight in the planning balance and is not outweighed by the moderate public benefits or personal circumstances advanced.
