Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The main issue in the deemed planning application is the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of 539-541 Kingsbury Road ('the host building') and upon the character and appearance of the area.

What decided it

The significant harm caused to the character and appearance of the host building and the local area by the unauthorised rear extensions and frontage canopy, which was not outweighed by the economic benefits of the development.

the moderate weight given to the economic benefits of the extended outdoor seating did not outweigh the significant harm and conflict with the development plan as a whole
