Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Belsize Park Conservation Area

What decided it

The moderate harm to the significance of the Belsize Park Conservation Area arising from the size, scale, siting and design of the proposed development, which would not be outweighed by the public benefits advanced, including self-build provision and housing delivery contributions.

The moderate harm to the significance of the conservation area, to which substantial weight must be given under Framework Policy HE6, substantially outweighed the benefits of self-build provision, housing delivery, climate change mitigation, biodiversity enhancements, affordable housing contributions and car-free development measures.

Plan policies cited: Policy H4, Policy T1, Policy T2, Policy A1, Policy T4, Policy DM1, Policy D2
