Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Victoria Park Conservation Area (VPCA)
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to overlooking
What decided it
The proposed balcony would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the Victoria Park Conservation Area through its incongruous design and materials, and the identified public benefits do not outweigh this harm to the designated heritage asset.
