Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property, and whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Queens Park Estate Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal's limited scale, subordinate design, respect for materials and detailing, and restricted visibility from the public domain meant it would not harm the character and appearance of the host property or the conservation area.
