Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Pimlico Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents and in particular, the effect on the outlook of the occupiers of the neighbouring dwellings including at 54 Denbigh Street
What decided it
The proposed extension would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area through its subservient design and matching materials, and would not harmfully affect neighbouring living conditions, thereby complying with the development plan.
