Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed 11 Thameside and its setting
- the effect on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers, and in particular those of 12 Thameside, in terms of outlook and whether it would result in an overbearing effect
- the effect on the setting of various Grade II listed buildings in proximity to the appeal site and on the Henley Main Conservation Area
What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building was weighed against the public benefits of the proposal, but the benefits were found to be private only and insufficient to outweigh the harm.
