Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Pimlico Conservation Area
  • The living conditions of the occupiers of the dwellings on Sussex Street and Westmoreland Terrace, having regard to light, outlook and privacy

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the Pimlico Conservation Area caused by the poorly designed rear mansard extension outweighed the limited public benefits of the proposal.

Plan policies cited: Policy 38, Policy 39, Policy 40, Policy 7, Westminster City Plan 2019-2040
