Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed extension would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Poets Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposed extension on the living conditions of occupiers of 15 Shelley Road with regard to outlook and light, and neighbouring occupiers with regard to overlooking and privacy

What decided it

The harmful impact on the character and appearance of the conservation area combined with unacceptable harm to the outlook of neighbouring occupiers outweighed any private benefits of additional living accommodation.

the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and harm to neighbouring outlook were not outweighed by the private benefit of additional living accommodation, with no public benefits advanced
