Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Blackheath Conservation Area, the Buffer Zone to the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site and the setting of locally listed buildings
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
- The effect of the proposed construction activities on the operation and safety of the highway at Heathway
What decided it
The proposed development would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and heritage assets while not causing significant harm to neighbouring living conditions, with construction impacts adequately mitigated by detailed method statements and planning conditions.
The benefits of delivering a new dwelling on an underutilised site within an urban area were balanced against the need to preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and protect neighbouring amenity, with the proposal satisfying both considerations.
