Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the area, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Carlton Square Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed development would result in the loss of a family sized dwelling, thereby reducing the Borough's stock of family sized accommodation
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of the neighbouring property at No 199 Mile End Road, with specific regard to daylight and sunlight
What decided it
The proposed development would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area through the introduction of a mansard roof extension that would disrupt the uniform roofscape of the terrace, and this harm could not be outweighed by the public benefits offered.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- S.DH1D.DH2S.DH3D.H7D.DH8
