Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed third-floor extension would introduce a discordant and incongruous built form that would significantly harm the character and appearance of the area, conflicting with development plan policies requiring the highest standards of design with regard to townscape and local context.
The identified adverse impacts of the development in respect of harm to the character and appearance of the area would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery and economic support when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
Plan policies cited: Strategic Policy 12 of the Southwark Council Core Strategy 2011, saved Policy 3.12 of the Southwark Plan 2007, saved Policy 3.13 of the Southwark Plan 2007
