Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the appeal dwelling, the terrace of which it forms part and that of the local area
What decided it
The proposed mansard extension would interrupt the continuous parapet roofline of the terrace and appear as an incongruous addition that would harm the character and appearance of the Non-Designated Heritage Asset, with limited public benefits insufficient to outweigh this less than substantial harm.

- Development plan policies
- Policy D1Policy D2Policy D3 (Kentish Town Neighbourhood Plan)Policy D3 (London Plan)Policy HC1 (London Plan)
