Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of proposed first floor rear extension and the AC unit upon the character and appearance of the host building and the locality, with particular regard to the St John's Wood Conservation Area
The living conditions of the neighbouring occupants as a result of the installation of the AC unit

What decided it

The proposed first floor rear extension would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area's significance that is not justified by public benefits, and the acoustic assessment for the AC unit is insufficient to establish that neighbouring living conditions would be protected.
