Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the setting of the grade II listed building referred to in the list description as 'numbers 23-61 (odd) and attached railings, Highbury Park'
- whether it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Highbury Fields Conservation Area
What decided it
The unsympathetic appearance of the thick black UPVC window frames, which would harm the setting of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the modest public benefits of home office accommodation did not outweigh this heritage harm.
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building and the character and appearance of the Highbury Fields Conservation Area was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of providing home office accommodation.
