Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the terrace, the locality and the Barnes Common Conservation Area, and consequently whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area
What decided it
The unbalancing effect of the dormer on the symmetrical terrace design and the resulting less than substantial but significant harm to the Conservation Area, which was not outweighed by any public benefits.
Less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area, which carried significant weight under the statutory duty to preserve or enhance the Conservation Area, was not outweighed by the private benefit to the appellant of additional space.
