Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal, including the loss of trees, on the character and appearance of the area and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the East India Estate Conservation Area (CA) and settings of Locally Listed Buildings at Nos 45-47 Outram Road
- the effects of the proposal on the occupiers of the flats within the host buildings in terms of loss of outdoor amenity space
- whether the proposal would be harmful to the living conditions of future neighbouring occupiers to the north in terms of overlooking
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the East India Estate Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset outweighs the public benefits of providing two new three-bedroom dwellings.
The public benefits of providing two new three-bedroom dwellings in a sustainable location with economic and social benefits do not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the East India Estate Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset.
