Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the significance of designated and non-designated heritage assets
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 27 Greenwich High Road, with particular regard to sunlight
  • whether adequate cycle parking could be provided

What decided it

The less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of the listed building, locally listed building and conservation area setting outweighed the public benefit of providing one additional dwelling in a sustainable location.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of heritage assets, to which great weight must be given for conservation, was not outweighed by the significant public benefit of delivering one two-bedroom dwelling in a sustainable location.
