Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, with particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the Telegraph Hill Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed rooflights would cause less than substantial harm to the Telegraph Hill Conservation Area by virtue of their prominent positioning and size contrary to SPD guidance, with no public benefits identified to outweigh this harm.

Framework references: 205, 208
