Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the appeal development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Harrow on the Hill Conservation Area and the setting of the adjacent listed building on the appeal site
  • the effect of the appeal development on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers, with particular regard to privacy, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The steps preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and do not harm the living conditions of adjoining occupiers, particularly as they serve a functional purpose for staff movement and do not intensify the lawful use of the pub garden.
