Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Park Town Conservation Area

What decided it

The limited visibility of the mansard from public areas and the retention of the roofscape's defining architectural features ensured that the proposal would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and the host dwelling.
