- Appeal type
- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure
- Written Representations
- Development
- residential · Minor Dwellings
- Inspector
- McGlone A
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Boltons Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed development would affect the living conditions of neighbouring properties, with regard to light glare and light spill (Appeal A only)
What decided it
Appeal A: the harmful effect of the proposed crown roof form and Portland Stone cladding on the character and appearance of the conservation area, which could not be overcome by planning conditions and outweighed the limited public benefits. Appeal B: the flat roof design and appropriate scale and massing that would preserve the conservation area's character when secured by conditions controlling fenestration and materials.
