Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, having regard to the Crouch End Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed development would provide a satisfactory standard of accommodation for its future occupiers, having regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Crouch End Conservation Area, which provides a clear reason for refusal under Framework paragraph 11(d)(i), outweighs the limited benefits of additional housing delivery.
The limited benefits of three residential units (one additional unit compared to the extant permission) do not justify or outweigh the less than substantial harm to the conservation area; the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply due to the heritage asset protection exception in Framework paragraph 11(d)(i).
