Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects the proposed development would have on the character and appearance of Fernleigh itself and the wider street scene within the Brixham Town Conservation Area
  • The effects on the residential amenity of the neighbouring property, Ashleigh, Parkham Road

What decided it

The proposed extension would be confined to the rear, largely hidden from public view, and would not harm the character and appearance of the conservation area or the amenity of neighbouring properties.
