Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Vassall Road Conservation Area, and on the setting of nearby Grade II Listed Buildings
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and the setting of the adjacent Grade II Listed Buildings, which would not be outweighed by the modest public benefits of providing four new dwellings in an area where the Council has already delivered a housing surplus.
The modest benefits of housing provision and construction jobs were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the heritage assets, to which great weight must be attributed.
