Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal constitutes good design and preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Garden Suburbs Conservation Area
What decided it
The two-storey side extension and front porch cause less than substantial but moderately adverse harm to the character and appearance of the Garden Suburbs Conservation Area, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Garden Suburbs Conservation Area was not outweighed by any identified public benefits
