Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the painting of a mural depicting Mary Poppins on the side flank elevation wall at roof level causes harm to the character and appearance of the Earl's Court Square conservation area

What decided it

The mural's limited visibility, small scale, and minimal visual impact on the conservation area's character and appearance, combined with its compliance with Local Plan policies, outweighed the Council's enforcement action.

Framework references: 215

Plan policies cited: Policy CD1, Policy CD2, Policy CD3, Policy CD4, Policy CD9, Policy CD10, Policy CD12, Policy CD15
