Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Brentwood Town Centre Conservation Area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposed extension would harm the character and appearance of the Brentwood Town Centre Conservation Area by eroding the pleasant variety in building heights and roofscape, and the public benefits of the proposal do not provide clear and convincing justification for this less than substantial harm.
