Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Blackheath Conservation Area
What decided it
The roof windows are visually intrusive and harmful to the conservation area's character, whereas the replacement windows and door preserve it.
The less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area from the roof windows could not be outweighed by private benefits; the replacement windows and door present no conflict with conservation policies
