Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and street scene
- living conditions of future occupiers in relation to the adequacy of external amenity space
What decided it
The scale and massing of the proposal would relate poorly to the immediate context of both road frontages and would provide inadequate external amenity space, particularly communal space, conflicting with development plan policies.
Plan policies cited: Policy D4 (Delivering good design) of the London Plan 2021, Strategic Policy 12 (Design and conservation) of the Core Strategy 2011, Saved Policies 3.12 and 3.13 of the Southwark Plan 2007, Saved Policy 4.2 of the Southwark Plan 2007
