Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect on the character and appearance of the area with particular reference to whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hatcham Conservation Area and the effect on the non-designated heritage asset 140 New Cross Road

What decided it

The proposed extension would unacceptably disrupt the unified appearance and roofline of the historic terrace and cause notable harm to the Hatcham Conservation Area and non-designated heritage asset, which could not be justified by the limited public benefits of the development.
