Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Primrose Hill Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would be an overly prominent and incongruous addition due to its elevated position that would unacceptably disrupt the prevailing appearance of rear elevations in the conservation area, with no public benefits to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the heritage asset.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D1Policy D2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 215
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.
