Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the wider area, including Kensington Fields Conservation Area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of 157 and 159 Empress Road with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The excessive size, bulk and depth of the proposed extension would harm both the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing impact and loss of outlook.
