Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host properties and the Ealing Town Centre Conservation Area
- whether the proposed development would make suitable provision for cycle storage facilities
What decided it
The significant adverse impact on the character and appearance of the conservation area caused by the bulky, overscaled rear extension was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of improved accommodation and cycle parking provision.
The less than substantial harm to the Ealing Town Centre Conservation Area was weighed against the public benefits of improved residential accommodation and cycle parking provision; the harm was afforded significant weight and was not outweighed by the benefits.
