Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide a suitable living environment for future occupiers with regard to privacy, outlook and light
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate contribution towards affordable housing
- The effect of the proposal on nearby trees
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, Numbers 54 and 56 (even) and attached railings and garden gate (Nos 54 and 56), and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and the extent to which the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Barnsbury Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal fails to provide a suitable living environment for future occupiers with regard to privacy, outlook and light, and fails to make adequate affordable housing provision, which are decisive factors for dismissing the planning permission appeal, while the heritage considerations are satisfactory for allowing the listed building consent appeal.
