Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The extent to which the development preserves or enhances the host property and the character or appearance of the Bayswater Conservation Area

What decided it

The visual harm caused by the solid metal shutter and associated fittings to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area outweighs the minimal public benefits of improved security, which could be achieved through alternative means.
