Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed mansard roof extension and roof level Air Source Heat Pump on the character and appearance of the building and the surrounding area including its effect on the significance of 63 Cross Street as a non-designated heritage asset, whether or not it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cross Street Conservation Area and whether it would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building known as 61 Cross Street
- The effect of the proposed mansard extension and roof level Air Source Heat Pump on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 294, 295 and 296 Upper Street with particular reference to privacy, outlook, daylight and sunlight and potential for noise
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special historic interest setting of the Grade II Listed Building and the character or appearance of the Conservation Area, and would cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions in respect of outlook, daylight, sunlight and noise, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh these harms.
