Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building (a non-designated heritage asset), with particular regard to the East India Conservation Area (CA)
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers in terms of privacy and provision of private amenity space
- Whether there is an adequate provision, location and design of cycle spaces
- Whether there is an adequate provision for the parking of vehicles on site
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and non-designated heritage asset, combined with inadequate amenity space, cycle parking, and unsafe parking arrangements, could not be justified by the housing and economic benefits of the scheme.
The public benefits of housing supply and economic benefits did not outweigh the less than substantial harm caused to the conservation area and non-designated heritage asset.
