Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and terrace and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Queensbridge Road Conservation Area
- whether the development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to accommodation standards, outlook and outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The minimal nature of the shopfront alterations and their consistency with neighbouring units, combined with the provision of satisfactory living conditions meeting space standards and adequate light and outlook, justified allowing the appeal.
