Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would appear overly prominent, dominant and incongruous within the area, unacceptably harming character and appearance contrary to development plan policy, and would result in unacceptable loss of sunlight, daylight and outlook for neighbouring occupiers.
The need for additional homes was outweighed by the unacceptable harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours.
Plan policies cited: saved policy 3.12 of the Southwark Plan (2007), policy 7.4 of the London Plan (2016)
