Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Christchurch Road East Sheen Conservation Area
What decided it
The potential harm to the mature frontage tree (T1) from the 2-storey extension, in the absence of adequate arboricultural assessment, would result in less than substantial harm to the conservation area that is not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area due to potential effects on the mature frontage tree was weighed against the limited public benefit of additional accommodation, and the harm was found to outweigh the benefit.
