Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and wider area
- Whether the proposal is an environmentally sustainable form of development
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the host building and wider area through visually jarring uPVC frames, and would not optimise resource efficiency with low embodied carbon materials as required by Policy CC1, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D1 of the Camden Local Plan 2017Policy 2 of the Fortune Green and West Hampstead Neighbourhood Plan 2015Policy CC1 of the Camden Local Plan 2017
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
