Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the Queensway Conservation Area and the setting of the Bayswater Conservation Area
What decided it
The first and second floor rear extension causes less than substantial harm to the significance of the Queensway Conservation Area and the setting of the Bayswater Conservation Area by appearing as an incongruous, overly prominent addition that erodes the gap between building blocks, and this harm is not outweighed by the limited public benefits identified.
