Why it was refused

  1. The proposed works, by reason of the rendered blockwork finish and projecting upper detail to the rear extension, the increased height and inappropriate materials of the rear boundary walls, the loss of the historic western boundary wall, the replacement of the verdant and permeable rear garden with concrete hardstanding, and the introduction of the front stair and porcelain tiling, would result in incongruous and unsympathetic alterations which would harm the special architectural and historic interest and setting of the Grade II listed building and its listed group, and the character and appearance of the Regent’s Canal Conservation Area, contrary to policies D1 (Design) and D2 (Heritage) of the London Borough of Camden Local Plan 2017.

From the council's decision notice.
