Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to its scale and the prevailing pattern of development, and its effect on the historic character and significance of the Blackheath Conservation Area and the setting of adjacent locally listed buildings.
What decided it
The high-quality contemporary design of the dwelling, combined with its modest 1.5-storey height achieved through partial below-ground siting, would preserve the character and significance of the Blackheath Conservation Area and the setting of locally listed buildings without unduly compromising the prevailing pattern of development.
