®Planning appeal decision
55 Cadogan Street, LONDON, SW3 2QJ
a retrospective application for the addition of black painted metal railings to the rear closet wing. To facilitate the maintenance of the roof level at 55 Cadogan Street safely, black painted metal railings retained from the existing property have been added to the rear closet wing roof, with access through an openable rooflight. The roof will be used for the purpose of maintenance only and will not be used by the occupants for leisure purposes. The proposed black painted metal railings which were retained from the existing property, are in-keeping with the style and scale of railings seen throughout the surrounding block, an area characterised by roof terraces with railings at different heights and sizes

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Chelsea Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with reference to privacy and noise and disturbance
What decided it
The railings have a neutral impact on the conservation area character and would not cause materially different harm to neighbouring living conditions compared to the existing second floor terrace already present at the property.
