Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and whether or not it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Westbourne Conservation Area

What decided it

The disruption to the established rhythm and visual continuity of the rear façade caused by the massing and position of the proposed extension at first-floor level would harm the character and appearance of the host building in conflict with the development plan.

The limited benefit to the occupants' living conditions through increased bedroom size would not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the host building
