Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties
What decided it
The railings create an adverse visual effect on the building and Conservation Area, and the terrace would harm neighbouring living conditions, with no public benefits to outweigh these harms.
