- Whether the development would preserve the Grade II listed Numbers 12-13 Alwyne Road, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which they possess, including setting, and whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Canonbury Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed extension's excessive scale, massing, design and associated garden excavations would cause less than substantial harm to the listed building's significance and setting and the conservation area's character, which would not be outweighed by private benefits, and the extension was not the only design option available.
