Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the outbuilding preserves the character or appearance of the Earl's Court Square Conservation Area
  • The effect on biodiversity

What decided it

The outbuilding's low-profile roof, limited footprint, and balanced design meant it preserved the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and did not significantly harm biodiversity, justifying permission subject to conditions.
