Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, 1-6 Eton Villas, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- The extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Eton Conservation Area
What decided it
The bare rendered finish is the sole surviving example on the listed building and a rare survivor within the conservation area, and painting it would undermine the historical narrative of the evolution of building materials, causing harm that is not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D2 of the Camden Local Plan (2017)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 205Paragraph 206Paragraph 208
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
