Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed conditions are reasonable and necessary in the interests of the character and appearance of the Wandsworth Town Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II listed building at No. 178 East Hill
What decided it
The presence of the Conservation Area and listed building do not provide clear justification for restricting permitted development rights, as the GPDO already contains appropriate protections and the site's varied context means permitted development would not cause harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DMS1DMS2
