Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host building and the locality, with particular regard to the St John's Wood Conservation Area (CA)
  • The effect of the proposed development upon existing trees
  • The effect of the proposed development towards on-street parking

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area caused by removal of boundary treatment for off-street parking outweighed the claimed public benefits, and the proposal conflicted with the development plan and NPPF.
