Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect the development and works would have on the significance of the grade II listed Primrose Hill Studios and the Primrose Hill Conservation Area, including the effect on structural stability of buildings
- Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular reference to outlook, daylight and access to outdoor space
- Whether car free housing and a construction management plan could be secured by way of a planning condition, and consequently the effect on transport choice, and neighbours' living conditions and highway safety
- Whether a contribution to reinstate the footway adjacent to the site would be necessary
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the listed building and Conservation Area, combined with unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers and inability to adequately secure car-free status and construction management through conditions, outweighed the limited public benefit of providing one additional dwelling.
