Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the local area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby listed building, the Grade II* listed Church of St John the Baptist, the setting of the locally listed park and garden of St John the Baptist Pinner and the setting of the Pinner High Street Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II* listed Church of St John the Baptist and the Pinner High Street Conservation Area by obstructing key views, and would harm the character and appearance of the area through excessive scale and bulk, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh this harm.
