Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building (5 and 6, The Boltons SW10) and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Boltons Conservation Area
What decided it
The raising of the parapet and increased massing of the side wing extension would fundamentally undermine the balanced architectural composition and subservience of the side wing to the main elevation, causing less than substantial but considerable harm to the listed building and conservation area that is not outweighed by public benefits.
