Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property as a non-designated heritage asset
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Westbourne Conservation Area
What decided it
The existing roof's lack of historic integrity due to prior alterations to the property, combined with the precedent of mansard roofs already present or permitted on neighbouring properties within the same street context, justified allowing the development as it would not harm the character and appearance of the conservation area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 38Policy 39Policy 40
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
