Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property, and the Highgate Conservation Area
  • whether there would be acceptable living conditions for the future occupants of the proposed development with regard to the provision of internal space
  • whether there would be acceptable living conditions for the occupants of the host property with regard to outlook

What decided it

The significant adverse impact on the character and appearance of the Highgate Conservation Area, combined with unacceptable living conditions for both future occupants and the host property, outweighed the limited benefits of housing provision.

the moderate benefits of housing provision in a sustainable location and associated economic benefits were insufficient to outweigh the significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the unacceptable living conditions for future occupants and neighbouring occupants
