Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is within the setting of the Shepherd Bush Conservation Area (SBCA) and if so
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the property and of the SBCA

What decided it

The retention of the shopfront without appropriate traditional architectural framing, combined with the strident colour scheme and disproportionate sign panel, cumulatively detracts from the unified appearance of the host building within its conservation area setting and conflicts with Policy DC5 and heritage protection duties.
