Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and Brick Lane and Fournier Street Conservation Area
- whether the proposal would provide adequate provision for refuse and recycling storage
- whether the proposal would provide adequate provision for cycle parking
What decided it
The fourth-floor roof extension would adversely affect the character and appearance of the Conservation Area by disrupting the consistent roofline, and no public benefits were identified to outweigh this less than substantial but considerable harm.
