Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the locally listed host building and the Wimbledon West Conservation Area
- drainage and flood risk in the area
What decided it
The proposed basement would exceed 50% of the rear garden and cause considerable harm to the character of the locally listed host building, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
The acceptable drainage and flood risk provisions were significantly outweighed by the considerable harm to the character of the locally listed host building, with no public benefits to mitigate such harm.
