Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the Barnsbury Conservation Area
- The effects of the proposal upon the living conditions at 52 Huntingdon Street in terms of visual impact, privacy, and light
What decided it
The unconventional and incoherent design of the rear dormer roof extension, combined with the harmful impact on the neighbouring property's living conditions through oppressive proximity and loss of privacy, outweighed any potential benefits and conflicted with conservation area protection duties and development plan policies.
