Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ealing Town Centre Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area through the introduction of a wider, box-like flat-roof dormer that would disrupt the established rhythm of narrow pitched-roof dormers, and this harm cannot be justified by private benefits alone.
