Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the impact the works would have on the listed building, known as "48 Mornington Terrace" or on any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Camden Town Conservation Area
What decided it
Whether the less than substantial harm identified to the listed building's historic fabric, character and hierarchy for each element was outweighed by the public benefits put forward by the appellant.
for most elements of the works the less than substantial harm to the listed building and conservation area was not outweighed by the public benefits claimed (which were often unsubstantiated), save for the attic windows, new flooring, and second/attic floor shutters, where the benefits outweighed or no harm arose
