Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that varying the condition would have upon the character and appearance of 35 Elm Avenue as a Non Designated Heritage Asset
  • Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary in order to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Moor Park Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed dormer extension, through its sympathetic design aligned with the Arts and Crafts movement and limited visibility from public vantage points, would conserve the significance of the Non Designated Heritage Asset and preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
