This would be compounded by the addition of the external utility room/shower area, which would seek to enclose the entirety of the frontage with built form that would not relate well to the main dwelling, nor the wider character of the area. The proposal would thereby fail to preserve or enhance the special character of this part of the Conservation Area contrary to Policies DC61 and DC68. |
