Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the Mapesbury Conservation Area
  • The effect of the development on highway safety

What decided it

The unauthorised development causes less than substantial harm to the heritage asset's significance by failing to preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the limited public benefits are insufficient to outweigh this harm to which great weight must be attached under NPPF paragraph 199.

Framework references: 199, 202

Plan policies cited: DMP1, BHC1, BT2
