Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the settings of the Cross Street Conservation Area and the Canonbury Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular reference to outlook and light

What decided it

The proposal would cause material harm to the significance of nearby conservation areas through its prominence in the street scene and would unacceptably harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and daylight, with insufficient public benefits to justify these harms.

Framework references: 130

Plan policies cited: Policy CS8, Policy DM2.1, Policy D4
