Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the Sandbach Town Centre Conservation Area
  • The living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings by way of privacy, light and outlook

What decided it

The proposed extension would appear as a discordant and incongruous feature breaking the uniform first-floor rear elevation of the terrace when viewed from the Listed Church and Churchyard, causing harm to the conservation area's character and appearance that could not be outweighed by public benefits.
