Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Eastcote Park Estate Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Eastcote Park Estate Conservation Area, and the public benefits did not provide clear and convincing justification to outweigh this harm.
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area was weighed against the public benefit of bringing a neglected dwelling back into use, but the harm was not outweighed by the benefits.
