Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing building and the Kensington Conservation Area
What decided it
The mansard roof extension would interrupt the regular simple lines and consistent character of development on Hillgate Place, causing significant harm to the conservation area that was not outweighed by the identified benefits.
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area arising from the roof extension was not outweighed by the public benefit of replacing railings with original design or the economic benefits of construction.
