Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the revised design upon the character and appearance of the Moor Park Conservation Area

What decided it

The limited degree of visibility of the extension from public vantage points, combined with the strong variation in architectural design and roof forms already present within the Conservation Area, means the proposal does not undermine its character or appearance.
