Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal upon the host dwelling and the setting of the Chatteris Conservation Area

What decided it

The original dwelling would remain legible and the proposal would result in neutral impact to the adjacent Conservation Area setting, with the extension consolidating existing poor-quality structures and modernising the dwelling in a manner consistent with local character.
