Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the property and area, including the setting of the conservation area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 46 Burnaby Street with regards to privacy
What decided it
The terrace and balustrades directly abutting No.46, combined with harmful overlooking impacts on the neighbour's privacy, would detract from the character and appearance of the conservation area and fail to preserve its setting, with no public benefits to outweigh the harm.

- Development plan policies
- Policy CL9Policy CL1Policy CL2Policy CL6Policy CL11Policy CL5
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
