Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Kentish Town Conservation Area
What decided it
The storage unit's obtrusive appearance, height, and positioning would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Kentish Town Conservation Area, and the limited public benefits of the development do not outweigh this harm when great weight must be given to the asset's conservation.
