Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, the street scene and the Kensington Conservation Area
What decided it
The revised design of the mansard roof, with properly proportioned and aligned dormer windows, would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and respond appropriately to the fenestration of the host building and adjoining structures.
The benefits of the proposed development in preserving the character and appearance of the conservation area and responding to the varied architectural context outweighed any concerns about the addition.
