Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 252 Hertford Road, with particular regard to outlook and light
whether the development would affect the setting of non-designated heritage assets, with particular regard to 258 Hertford Road, a locally designated heritage asset

What decided it

The significant adverse effect on outlook for occupiers of 252 Hertford Road from the first-floor window, caused by the visually dominant form of the extended two-storey development, was determinative in dismissing the appeal.

Framework references: 209
