Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Edwardes Square, Scarsdale and Abingdon Conservation Area
- Whether the setting of the nearby grade II listed Our Lady of Victories Roman Catholic Church would be preserved
What decided it
The proposed rear addition would be a suitable and appropriate addition to the host building and streetscape, preserving the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed church through careful proportional design and its subservient relationship to the main building.
