Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Blackheath Park Conservation Area

What decided it

The scale, mass and siting of the proposed dwelling would erode the spacious qualities that define the Blackheath Park Conservation Area and conflict with the prevailing pattern of development, causing less than substantial harm to which great weight must be given in accordance with the Framework, with no public benefits to outweigh this.

The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Blackheath Park Conservation Area outweighed any claimed public benefits, with great weight given to conservation of the heritage asset as required by the Framework.
