Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property, the terrace of properties and the Beck Road Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed mansard roof extension would cause less than substantial but significant harm to the character and appearance of the Beck Road Conservation Area by introducing a discordant design feature that conflicts with the distinctive unaltered butterfly roof forms of the terrace, and the limited public benefits do not outweigh this heritage harm.
