Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Northwold and Cazenove Conservation Area and the significance of a non-designated heritage asset
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with respect to privacy, noise and disturbance and overlooking

What decided it

The conspicuous and disruptive effect of the roof terrace railings on the consistent roofline of the heritage asset group, combined with unmitigated harm to neighbouring privacy, could not be justified by private benefits to the occupants.
