We were instructed to write the appeal statement following refusal of a first floor rear extension to a locally listed building within a conservation area.  The Council had previously approved a first floor rear extension and the new proposal was 30cm wider which the Council had refused.  The Inspector agreed with our argument that the new extensions would not have a materially different effect on the character and appearance of the area, the site as a BTM, or neighbouring BTMs, to that of the previous approval.
