Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building, the adjoining terrace, and the Camden Town Conservation Area
What decided it
The development would cause less than substantial but important harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and listed building, with no public benefits of sufficient weight to outweigh that harm.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area and listed building was not outweighed by the minimal public benefits of additional residential accommodation and use of airspace, resulting in dismissal.

- Development plan policies
- Policy D2Policy D1Policy H2Camden Local Plan 2017
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 60Paragraph 120Paragraph 202
