Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extensions on the character and appearance of Whitehall Lodge, a non-designated heritage asset, and on the Muswell Hill Conservation Area
- In respect of Appeal A only, the effect of the proposed additional car parking on living conditions for occupiers of Whitehall Lodge, with particular regard to noise disturbance
What decided it
The significant harmful effect on the character and appearance of Whitehall Lodge as a non-designated heritage asset and on the Muswell Hill Conservation Area, which provides a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework and outweighs the modest housing benefits.
The modest housing benefits and economic support during construction were outweighed by the significant harm to the Conservation Area and Whitehall Lodge as a non-designated heritage asset, to which great weight must be attributed; the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework did not apply because the harm to the Conservation Area provided a clear reason for refusal.
