Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers of the development, particularly with regard to daylight and outlook
- whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II listed building, 'Numbers 54 and 56 (even) and Attached Railings and Garden Gate', and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Barnsbury Conservation Area and whether any harm to the significance of the conservation area is outweighed by any public benefits
What decided it
The proposal failed to preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building and would harm the character and appearance of the Barnsbury Conservation Area, with the identified harms not outweighed by public benefits, combined with unacceptable living conditions due to poor outlook from basement rooms.
