Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the CA
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers having regard to matters of privacy
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers having regard to matters of noise disturbance
What decided it
The proposed development would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Gipsy Hill Conservation Area by introducing an incongruous addition that would erode the collective positive visual contribution of the terrace, and this harm could not be outweighed by the limited social benefits of the proposal.
The limited social benefit of the proposal was outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the conservation area, to which great weight must be attached in accordance with paragraph 202 of the Framework.
