Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the host property and the Courtfield Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The established presence of roof terraces as a feature within the conservation area, combined with the proposed terrace's recessive design and set-back position, meant it would preserve rather than harm the character and appearance of the building and conservation area whilst not causing unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions.
