Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area, having regard to whether the scheme would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hammersmith Grove Conservation Area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of the basement flats of 176 and 180 Hammersmith Grove with particular regard to loss to outlook
What decided it
The site-specific circumstances, including the low level of the proposal, appropriate design, and context of other extensions on the terrace, justified departure from SPD guidance while still preserving the Conservation Area character and not materially harming neighbouring living conditions.
