Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area and whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Far Headingley Conservation Area
- the effect of the development on adjacent trees
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties, with particular reference to privacy
What decided it
The use of discordant corrugated sheet material on the garden room's rear and side elevations, which is not sympathetically related to the dwelling or surrounding area and does not reflect the predominant use of traditional materials in the Conservation Area, combined with the failure to demonstrate that the development would not harm adjacent trees, outweighed the modest public benefits claimed.
