Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the works on the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building 20 and 22 Ospringe Street

What decided it

The appeal window results in less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and the character of the conservation area that is not outweighed by public benefits, as there is no convincing evidence it brings about any further public benefits than the remainder of the scheme.

The benefits of achieving a viable habitable dwellinghouse through the scheme of works (excluding the appeal window) outweighed the harm to heritage assets, but the additional harm from the appeal window was not outweighed by any public benefits.
