Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and noise and odour pollution
- Whether the proposed development would be acceptable in terms of fire safety
What decided it
The design and poor-quality materials of the proposed extensions would result in less than substantial harm to the Kensal Rise Conservation Area, and the moderate economic benefits would not outweigh the harm that must be given great weight under the Framework and development plan policies.
