Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Barnsbury Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of residents of 158-162 Barnsbury Road, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposals would cause unacceptable harm to both the appearance of the Barnsbury Conservation Area and the living conditions of neighbouring residents through loss of outlook and increased sense of enclosure, which could not be justified by the modest benefits offered.
