Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of each development on the character and appearance of the host building and area, having regard to whether the scheme would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hammersmith Grove Conservation Area
- the effect of each development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to any overlooking
What decided it
The small size of the roof terrace, its elevated position with significant separation distance to rear gardens, the screening effect of the side panels, and the similarity to existing views from the Juliet balcony meant that overlooking would not unacceptably increase beyond the existing situation.
