Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host building and the greater locality, with special regard given to the character and appearance of the St. John's Wood Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed removal of the Golden False Acacia tree and the cumulative less than substantial harm to the conservation area from the side extension, basement, dormer windows and PV tiles could not be justified by public benefits, conflicting with NPPF paragraph 202 and conservation area policies.
