Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, including whether or not it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Nunhead Green Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the viability of the bar
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of the first floor flat at 28 Nunhead Green, with particular regard to outlook
- Whether the proposal would provide for a satisfactory standard of accommodation for occupiers of the proposed maisonette, with regard to outlook and provision of external amenity space
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area caused by the dominant bulk and massing of the proposed extension, combined with the failure to demonstrate that the proposal would not undermine the viability of the bar, outweighed the limited public benefits.
