Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposal would be acceptable with specific regard to the use of private motor vehicles
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area

What decided it

The proposal would not be acceptable with regard to the use of private motor vehicles as it would incentivise reliance on private car use contrary to Policies T1 and T2 of the Camden Local Plan, and this harm was not outweighed by the neutral impact on conservation area character.
