Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the roofscape of the street, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Hans Town Conservation Area or the setting of the Grade II listed building 17-43 Lennox Gardens
What decided it
The proposed development would be barely discernible from the public realm due to its low height, set-back position, and the narrow width of Clabon Mews, and would have a neutral impact on the varied roofscape which now forms a notable feature of the mews.
