Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host and neighbouring dwellings and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Duncan Terrace/Colebrooke Row Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed mansard roof extension would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Duncan Terrace/Colebrooke Row Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset, and the private benefit of additional living accommodation does not constitute a public benefit sufficient to outweigh this harm.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area was weighed against the public benefits of the proposal, but the private benefit of additional living accommodation was not sufficient to outweigh the heritage harm.
