Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary having regard to the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Primrose Hill Conservation Area
- Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary having regard to the effect of the proposal on highway safety
- Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary having regard to whether the proposal would encourage unsustainable forms of transport
What decided it
The permanent harm to the character and appearance of the Primrose Hill Conservation Area caused by the unsympathetic front boundary treatment, combined with the loss of an on-street parking space and encouragement of unsustainable transport, outweighs the personal benefits to the appellant, which can be achieved through the existing permission with Condition 4 intact.
