Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the impact of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal would introduce significant bulk that would disrupt the consistent roofline and modest proportions of the host dwelling and the balanced appearance of the terrace, causing significantly adverse impact on character and appearance contrary to development plan policies.
The limited benefits of innovative design and effective land use for a single dwelling did not outweigh the significantly adverse impact on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area.
Plan policies cited: Policy D1 of the London Plan (2021), Policy D4 of the London Plan (2021), Policy CS8 of Islington's Core Strategy (2011), Policy CS9 of Islington's Core Strategy (2011), Policy DM2.1 of Islington's Local Plan Development Management Policies 2013
