Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Clapham Park and Northbourne Road Conservation Area having regard to trees
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety and sustainable travel choices with regard to parking
What decided it
The proposed development fails to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants due to insufficient private outdoor amenity space, cannot be demonstrated to avoid harm to protected trees in the conservation area without an arboricultural assessment, and lacks appropriate mechanisms to secure sustainable travel measures, and these conflicts with the development plan are not outweighed by the provision of two additional residential units.
