Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the appeal property and that of the local area, with reference to the Thames Barrier and Bowater Road Conservation Area

What decided it

The loft extension's subordinate scale, set-back positioning, matching materials, and limited visibility from the public realm mean it causes no harm to the character and appearance of the locally listed building or the conservation area.

What the Inspector cited
