Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Cliff D
Postcode: SE8 3PR

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect on the significance of the existing building as a non-designated heritage asset (including whether the existing building should be considered as a non-designated heritage asset)
whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Deptford High Street and St Pauls Conservation Area
whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the nearest Grade II* listed building (13 and 15 Albury Street)

What decided it

The prominence and dominance of the proposed extension in views along Albury Street would erode the historic setting of the Georgian listed buildings and harm the Conservation Area, with limited public benefits insufficient to justify this heritage harm.
