Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the Northwold and Cazenove conservation area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of No 120 Cazenove Road with regard to noise and disturbance
- The benefits that may arise from the development for users of the site
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the heritage asset and the conflict with living conditions of neighbouring residents outweigh the limited educational benefits of the development.
