Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as 'Numbers 11 and 12 and attached railings and piers' (Ref: 1380094) (Nos 11 & 12), and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building, known as 'Numbers 70-74 and attached railings' (Ref: 1381585) (Nos 70-74)
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, having particular regard to the Montpelier and Clifton Hill Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposed extension on the living conditions of the occupants of 71 and 72 Montpelier Road (Nos 71 & 72), with particular reference to enclosure

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building, the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building, and the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh the less than substantial but considerable harm identified.
