Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Westbourne Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building at 17-31 Sutherland Place
- Whether the proposed development would allow provision of adequate drainage and landscaping, with particular regard to the proposed basement
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Westbourne Conservation Area and the setting of the listed building, caused by the mansard roof extension creating striking asymmetry with the adjoining property, outweighed the modest public benefits of the proposal when applying the Framework paragraph 202 balance.
