Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ladbroke Conservation Area
What decided it
The extent of harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the paired bookend relationship between the two end-of-terrace houses, which would not be justified by the modest public benefits of the proposal.
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Ladbroke Conservation Area was weighed against modest public benefits including reinstatement of balustrades and energy efficiency gains; the harm substantially outweighed the benefits.
