Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the host building and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ladbroke Conservation Area.
What decided it
The proposed roof extensions, although set back from adjoining properties, would not disrupt the character and appearance of the Ladbroke Conservation Area and would be acceptable when controlled by conditions limiting the height of objects on the roof terrace.
