Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host terrace, and the Barons Court Conservation Area
  • the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers with particular regard to privacy, and noise and disturbance

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, with minimal public benefits to weigh against it, outweighed the private benefits to the occupants.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area was weighed against the modest public benefits of improving the flat's arrangement, which were accorded very little weight, resulting in the proposal being unacceptable.
