Planning appeal 3337445 at 9D The Grove, London, N6 6JU (London Borough of Camden) was dismissed on 2 October 2024 by Inspector Storey P, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: the effect of the proposed demolition and replacement dwelling on the character and appearance of the area, bearing in mind the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area, and the special attention that should be paid to preserving the setting of nearby listed buildings.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed demolition and replacement dwelling on the character and appearance of the area, bearing in mind the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area, and the special attention that should be paid to preserving the setting of nearby listed buildings
- whether the proposed development would meet climate change objectives, with specific regard to the demolition of the existing dwelling and the use of active cooling in the replacement dwelling
What decided it
The proposed replacement dwelling would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area and fail to preserve the significance of nearby listed buildings through its increased massing and prominence, and the proposal failed to adequately justify demolition under climate change policy.
The less-than-substantial but considerable harm to the listed buildings and conservation area, to which great weight must be given, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
