Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the John Innes - Wilton Crescent Conservation Area
- The effect on the occupiers of the existing and neighbouring property with regard to overbearing impact
What decided it
The proposed roof extension would fail to preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, conflicting with development plan policies requiring compatibility with local character and high architectural design quality, whereas the single-storey extension and outbuilding were physically and functionally severable and acceptable.
