Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, with particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Fitzjohns/Netherhall Conservation Area
What decided it
The moderate harm to the significance of the Fitzjohns/Netherhall Conservation Area caused by the excessive, overbearing and incongruous design of the proposed extensions substantially outweighs the benefit of creating a larger family home.
The benefits of creating a larger, functional three-bedroom family home and making effective use of land were substantially outweighed by the moderate harm to the significance of the conservation area and the failure to preserve or enhance its character and appearance
