Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions at 13 and 15 Tressillian Crescent, with particular regard to outlook
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Brockley Conservation Area
What decided it
The significant harm to neighbours' living conditions through loss of outlook and the failure to preserve or enhance the Brockley Conservation Area's character outweighed the very modest public benefits of the scheme.
the scheme's very modest public benefits would not outweigh the significant harm caused to living conditions at neighbouring properties and the character and appearance of the Brockley Conservation Area
