Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Progress Estate Conservation Area

What decided it

The substantial scale and wrap-around form of the proposed extension would cause less than substantial but nonetheless significant harm to the character and appearance of the Progress Estate Conservation Area, which as a designated heritage asset must be given great weight, and this harm would not be outweighed by the private and limited public benefits of the development.
