Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the Kennington Conservation Area
What decided it
The front awning's visual prominence and impact on the conservation area's character outweighed any economic benefits to the public house, whereas the rear awning's concealment behind boundary walls meant it would cause no harm.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area from the front awning was weighed against economic public benefits but the harm outweighed the benefits; the rear awning caused no harm and was therefore acceptable.
