Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property, including whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hampstead Conservation Area in which it is located
What decided it
The unaltered roof profile of properties Nos 9-15 is of heritage value worthy of preservation, and the proposed development would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area with no public benefits to justify that harm.
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area was not outweighed by any public benefits, as the personal benefits to the appellant did not constitute material public benefits.
