Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the De Beauvoir Conservation Area within which it sits, along with its effect on the levels of privacy enjoyed by the occupiers of No. 150 Culford Road
What decided it
The proposed mansard roof would harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the roofscape of the terrace and fail to preserve or enhance the De Beauvoir Conservation Area, and this harm was not outweighed by the private benefits to the appellant.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, weighted heavily by the statutory duty under s.72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, was not outweighed by the private benefits of efficient use of urban property and a larger family dwelling.
