Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect the development and works would have on the special architectural and historic interest of the grade II listed building at 1 and 2 Spring Terrace, and the Sheen Road and St Mathias Conservation Areas, and consequently the character and appearance of the area
- Whether or not the development would be likely to result in an increased risk of flooding, with particular reference to the basement and drainage arrangements
What decided it
The harm to designated heritage assets and failure to demonstrate adequate flood risk mitigation, carrying considerable weight that outweighed the limited benefits of providing a single dwelling and affordable housing contribution.
The limited benefits of providing a new home, affordable housing contribution, and potential biodiversity improvement were outweighed by the considerable weight of harm to designated heritage assets, character and appearance of the area, and failure to demonstrate avoidance of increased flood risk.
