Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Clerkenwell Green Conservation Area, including the effect on 30, 31 and 32 Clerkenwell Green, which are locally listed
- Whether the occupants of the proposed flats would have adequate living conditions, with reference to privacy and any noise and disturbance
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate and inclusive access
- Whether the proposal would prejudice the development potential of neighbouring land
What decided it
The amended scheme, particularly the removal of the office terrace and provision of acoustic separation, resolved the main concerns regarding living conditions and heritage impact, allowing the appeal to be allowed.
