Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Duncan Terrace/Colebrooke Row Conservation Area
What decided it
The mansard roof extension would be highly prominent in longer views and would further harm the unity and consistency of the terrace row without any public benefits to justify the less than substantial harm to the conservation area.
