Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property
- whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Streatham Lodge Estate Conservation Area
What decided it
The rear dormer, rooflights and rear extension, due to their size, siting and scale, would be overly dominant, incongruous and disproportionate additions that would result in substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, which was not justified by the public benefits of renovation.
the public benefits of bringing the neglected property back into use did not outweigh the substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area
