Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Barnsbury Conservation Area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building from the rear outrigger extension, second-floor bedroom subdivision, and front vault alterations was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal.
The less than substantial harm to the heritage asset was weighed against the public benefits of securing optimal viable use and conservation works, but the harm was not outweighed by these benefits.
