Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the heritage significance of the Camden Broadway Conservation Area
- Whether it is necessary for the development to be car-free
- Whether it is necessary for contributions to be paid in respect of affordable housing and to mitigate the effects of construction on the highway and living conditions of nearby residents, and if so, whether there are appropriate mechanisms in place to secure such contributions
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the heritage significance of the designated conservation area, to which great weight must be given, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal, and the absence of necessary planning obligations for car-free restrictions, affordable housing, and construction management created additional conflicts with the development plan.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset, to which great weight must be given, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing an additional dwelling, local patronage, and removal of graffiti.
