Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the East Canonbury Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed roof extension would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area by disrupting the distinctive butterfly roofline and uniformity of the terrace group, and this harm cannot be outweighed by the limited public benefits of the development.
