Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the setting of the designated and non-designated heritage assets
- living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 193 - 195 Greenwich High Road having particular regard to matters of outlook and enclosure
- living conditions for future occupiers with specific regard to outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and setting of heritage assets, combined with harm to neighbouring living conditions, could not be justified by the modest public benefits offered, particularly given the availability of a fallback position that would provide comparable housing without these harms.
