Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed first floor extension would affect the character and appearance of the host building and preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Belgravia Conservation Area
  • Whether the proposed ground floor extension would affect the living conditions of the occupants of 26 St. Barnabas Street regarding outlook

What decided it

The proposed first floor extensions would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area through their use of zinc cladding and design that fails to respond positively to the homogeneity of the terraced row, and the identified public benefits do not outweigh this harm.
