Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the St John's Wood Conservation Area
  • The effect of the development on living conditions for occupiers of 52 Acacia Road, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The development fails to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the St John's Wood Conservation Area due to its contemporary design and materials being discordant with the traditional character of the area, which outweighs any acceptable effects on neighbouring living conditions.
