Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host buildings and of the Bishops Park Conservation Area

What decided it

The risk of piecemeal implementation due to multiple ownerships and lack of legal mechanism to secure simultaneous completion would create an irregular and incongruous roofscape that would harmfully erode the uniformity of the terrace and detract from the character and appearance of the Bishops Park Conservation Area.
