Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Ealing Common Conservation Area
- living conditions of the occupiers of 1 Creffield Road with specific regard to outlook, levels of natural light, and privacy
- provision of cycle and waste storage
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the Ealing Common Conservation Area and harm its significance as a heritage asset, with limited public benefits insufficient to outweigh this harm under NPPF paragraph 215.
