Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing property, street scene and Bedford Park Conservation Area
What decided it
The front lightwell would make the presence of a basement obvious and uncharacteristic of the conservation area, causing less than substantial harm to its significance that is not outweighed by the private benefits to the appellants or the limited public benefits of the scheme.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Bedford Park Conservation Area, a matter of considerable weight, outweighed the private benefits of additional accommodation to the appellants and the limited public benefits of improved landscaping.
