Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the amendments to the approved dwelling on the street scene with particular regard to its height and massing including whether or not it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Mapesbury Conservation Area
- the effect of the use of the car parking space on the safety of pedestrians using Lydford Road
What decided it
The proposed car parking space would harm pedestrian safety due to insufficient visibility when egressing from the site, conflicting with development plan policies despite the dwelling's acceptable impact on the conservation area.
Plan policies cited: Policy DMP1, Policy BHC1, Policy BT2
