Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cobourg Road Conservation Area and the setting of listed buildings at 29 and 31 Cobourg Road
What decided it
The extension's overall scale and bulk would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed buildings, which outweighs the modest public benefits of improved accommodation.
The modest public benefits of improved family accommodation and efficient use of the building do not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and the setting of the listed buildings.
