Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed erection of a part rear extension at upper ground floor upon the appearance of the host dwelling and whether it would preserve or enhance the character of the Stockwell Park Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed extension would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Stockwell Park Conservation Area by eroding the uniform scale and visual rhythm of the terraced housing, and the limited private benefits did not outweigh the less than substantial but considerable harm to the conservation area's significance.
