Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the front boundary treatment on the character and appearance of the Park Langley Beckenham Conservation Area
What decided it
The particular combination of materials and scale at No. 35 creates an obtrusive appearance that fails to preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area, with no public benefit to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the heritage asset.
Less than substantial harm to the significance of the heritage asset was not outweighed by any public benefit, resulting in dismissal.
