Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the appeal development on the character and appearance of the area, including the St John's Wood Conservation Area
- if there is harm arising from the effect of the appeal development, whether the harm is outweighed by public benefits to justify a grant of planning permission
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the St John's Wood Conservation Area caused by the loss of the shallow pitched roof form characteristic of the group of buildings, which is not outweighed by the public benefits claimed.
