- Woodwards O
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 422 Lee High Road in regard to loss of light
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, particularly with regard to the design of the proposed rear extension, rear dormer, and fenestration to the front elevation
- the effect of the proposal on the setting of the grade II listed building, the former police station on Lee High Road
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that the proposal would not unacceptably harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of light, combined with the poor design of the rear dormer window which would harm the character and appearance of the area.
