Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Keston Park Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed extension would harm the significance of the Conservation Area by increasing the prominence and dominance of the garage through its augmented bulk, scale, and domestic appearance, contrary to the statutory duty to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
