Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area, with reference to the setting of the locally listed Brunswick Park
What decided it
The substantial similarity in design, scale, bulk, massing and location to the recently approved extension at 145 Benhill Road, combined with the finding that the proposal would be subordinate to the main dwelling and would preserve the significance of the locally listed park as a Non-Designated Heritage Asset.
