Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the host dwelling and Blackheath Park Conservation Area

What decided it

The retention of the distinctive roof form and Arts and Crafts character of the dwelling, combined with the sympathetic design of the extension which would not overwhelm the existing building, meant the proposal would preserve rather than harm the character and appearance of the conservation area.
