Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the building and surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed extensions would harm the character and appearance of the building and surrounding area by removing elements of symmetry and subordination and creating a top-heavy, dominant roof form contrary to design policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Core policy CS1.B of the Harrow Core Strategy (2012), Policy DM1 of the Harrow Development Management Policies (2013), Supplementary Planning Document Residential Design Guide (2010)
