Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, with particular regard to its location within the Turnham Green Conservation Area
What decided it
The balcony would be a prominent and incongruous addition that would disrupt the symmetry and simple architectural form of the building and harm the character of the conservation area, with no public benefits to outweigh this less than substantial harm.
The private benefit of outdoor amenity space to the flat occupiers was outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the conservation area, with no public benefits identified to justify the proposal.
