Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed conditions are reasonable and necessary having regard to the effect of the proposal on the special interest of the listed building or its setting
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Upper Street North Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed rooflight, despite its dimensions, would be an appropriate and sensitively constrained design solution that would maintain a subservient relationship with the host building and would not result in an obtrusive or visually discernible feature harmful to the heritage asset or conservation area.
