Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the locally listed building, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Stamford Brook Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of surrounding occupiers

What decided it

The less than substantial but considerable harm to the conservation area and non-designated heritage asset from removal of the front balconies was not outweighed by the public benefits, given a less harmful reconstruction alternative existed.

The public benefits of improved rear amenity space and fabric conservation did not outweigh the less than substantial harm, of considerable weight, to the conservation area and the non-designated heritage asset.
