Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed front extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, its surroundings and the Forestfield and Shrublands Conservation Area, and on the living conditions for the occupiers of No. 12
- The effect of the proposed rear extension on a protected oak tree
What decided it
The front extension would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area with no compensatory public benefit and would unacceptably affect neighbour amenity, whereas the rear extension would not materially harm the protected oak tree.
