Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Clapham Conservation Area including effects on trees
  • effects on parking demand
  • whether the proposal would provide an acceptable standard of accommodation for future occupants in terms of outlook and natural lighting

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the Clapham Conservation Area through built form introduction and threat to trees, particularly the substantial Sycamore, was not outweighed by the limited public benefit of delivering a single new dwelling.
