Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property (Blue Mist), the wider area, and heritage assets, namely upon the Chelston Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed front dormer window would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of Blue Mist and the Chelston Conservation Area that clearly outweighs the public benefits of the proposal.
the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the property outweighed the public benefits of beneficial adaptation and efficient use of the existing dwelling
