Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the reduction in self-contained dwellings from two to one would be acceptable, with regard to local Development Plan Policies
- The effect upon the significance of the grade II listed building, No. 200-210 Camberwell New Road
What decided it
The proposal fails to accord with development plan policies requiring replacement of lost housing at existing or higher densities, and causes harm to the special interest of the listed building that is not outweighed by the limited heritage benefits of the conversion.
