Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the St Johns Hill Grove Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbours
What decided it
The proposed roof terraces, particularly the substantial front terrace, would introduce visual clutter and increased activity at roof level that would erode the Conservation Area's tranquil character and cause undue noise disturbance to neighbours, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh the heritage harm.
