Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Studdridge Street Conservation Area
What decided it
The visually obtrusive lightwell with railings would appear as an out-of-character addition to the rear garden within the conservation area, and the proposal would conflict with Local Plan policy on basement extensions, with no public benefits identified to justify the harm to the heritage asset.
Less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, weighed against no identified public benefits, with substantial weight attached to the harm and no very special circumstances found to justify the development.
