Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, the group of buildings of which it forms part and that of the local area, with reference to the Kensington Conservation Area
- The living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers
What decided it
The proposed lower ground floor extension would appear dominant and incongruous in rear views, failing to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area, and this harm outweighed the modest benefit of additional living space.
