Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the unauthorised development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the South Hampstead Conservation Area (SHCA)
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the South Hampstead Conservation Area, to which considerable weight was afforded, could not be justified by the modest claimed benefits of greening and biodiversity, which could be achieved through alternative means.
The modest benefits of greening, biodiversity and improved outside space were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the significance of the South Hampstead Conservation Area, to which considerable importance and weight was afforded.
