Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Kentish Town Conservation Area (CA) and the setting of The Pineapple public house

What decided it
The proposed extension, through its modest scale, matching materials, sympathetic detailing and subservient appearance, would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed building whilst not significantly adversely affecting the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
