Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building '153, Balls Pond Road N1, 155 and 157 Balls Pond Road N1, 121-151, Balls Pond Road N1'
  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the De Beauvoir Conservation Area

What decided it

The harm to the setting and significance of the Grade II listed building from the substantial subdivision of the rear garden and extent of basement development was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, and there was no clear and convincing justification for this heritage harm.
