Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area, including the Clifton Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed extension would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the private benefits to the appellant would not outweigh the great weight that must be given to conservation of the designated heritage asset.
