Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed two-storey extension and alterations to the building on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the wider area, in the context of the Monken Hadley Conservation Area (CA)
- the effect on residential amenity with respect to private amenity space for the two proposed flats and any potential loss of privacy for neighbours
- whether the development would result in a loss of an employment site contrary to planning policy
- the lack of a legal agreement with respect to car parking
What decided it
The loss of an employment site without supporting marketing evidence, combined with the absence of the required legal agreement on car parking, together amounted to an overriding case against the appeal.
