- Inspector
- Unwin N
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the Hoxton Street Conservation Area, including its effect on the significance of the host building as a non-designated heritage asset
- whether the development is capable of providing biodiversity net gain
What decided it
The aluminium pergola's prominence above the roof line, modern design, and aluminium construction cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Hoxton Street Conservation Area and the host building as a non-designated heritage asset, which cannot be justified by the private benefit of extended rooftop use or modest biodiversity gain.
