Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development and works would preserve the Grade II listed 1–9 Stanley Crescent and the Park and Garden listed Grade II Ladbroke Estate or any features of special architectural or historic interest, including setting, and whether the development and works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Ladbroke Conservation Area
What decided it
The absence of any public benefits to weigh against the less than substantial harm to the listed building, gardens, and conservation area arising from the mansard roof, second floor, and staircase alterations meant the proposals could not be justified under paragraph 202 of the Framework.
The minor benefits arising from the lower ground floor works and chimney pot replacement were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the listed building, gardens, and conservation area from the mansard roof, second floor plan form, and staircase alterations, resulting in no net heritage benefit.
