Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the Humberston Fitties Conservation Area

What decided it

The increased height, substitution of timber with visually inferior modern cement-based materials, and modern additions (bi-fold doors and metal balustrade) cumulatively cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, which is not outweighed by any public benefits.
