Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed roof extension on the character and appearance of the existing building, the terrace in which it sits and whether it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Brockley Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed roof extension would cause less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset of the Brockley Conservation Area, and great weight must be given to that harm with no sufficient public benefits to outweigh it.

The less than substantial harm to the conservation area was not outweighed by any public benefits of the proposal.
