Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and whether or not the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Kensington Conservation Area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of 13 and 17 Farmer Street and 16 and 18 Jameson Street, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The modest scale, design and set-back positioning of the proposed extensions, combined with the prevalence of similar alterations to rear elevations in the conservation area, meant the proposal would preserve rather than harm the character and appearance of the host property and conservation area while not causing unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions.
