Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character or appearance of the Highgate Conservation Area and on the setting of a nearby Grade II* listed building, Nos 45 and 46 Highgate Hill West
- Whether the proposed development would accord with the Council's strategy for sustainable transport
What decided it
The proposals would unacceptably alter the semi-rural character of the conservation area and harm the setting of the listed building, with no substantial public benefits to outweigh the great weight given to heritage conservation.
