Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the East India Estate Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed development would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, with particular regard to the outlook from the open plan kitchen, dining and living area
What decided it
The reduction in scale of the existing outbuilding combined with the sensitive design incorporating a green roof and controlled glazing would enhance the spaciousness of the appeal site and preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area, while providing appropriate living conditions for future occupiers.
