Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether varying the condition would result in development acceptable in planning terms, with regard to its effect on the character and appearance of the area, including Harthill Conservation Area
- Whether varying the condition would result in development acceptable in planning terms, with regard to its effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of Harthill Conservation Area caused by the cumulative effect of the alterations to the dwelling's form, scale, massing and fenestration outweighs any public benefits and conflicts with the development plan.
