Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Kingston Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed conservatory's frameless glass construction and dual pitch glass roof would result in less than substantial harm to the conservation area's significance, and the modest public benefits do not outweigh this harm when great weight is afforded to conservation of the designated heritage asset.
the less than substantial harm to the significance of the Kingston Conservation Area was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of improved usability, removal of poor quality structures, and modest sustainability and economic benefits
