Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host property, the terrace block, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lansbury Conservation Area

What decided it

The absence of any public benefits to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the Lansbury Conservation Area caused by the erosion of the uniform appearance of the terrace block.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Lansbury Conservation Area, to which great weight was attached, was not outweighed by the private benefit of improved living accommodation to the appellant, resulting in dismissal of the appeal.

Framework references: 202

Plan policies cited: Policy S.DH1, Policy S.DH3
