Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Progress Estate Conservation Area (PECA)
What decided it
The proposed rear extension would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the Progress Estate Conservation Area by breaking the unpunctuated rear façade and harming the terrace's sense of order and symmetry, and the limited public benefit from replacement windows does not outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D3Policy HC1Policy DH1Policy DH3Policy DH(a)Policy DH(h)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 212Paragraph 215
