Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The living conditions of nearby occupiers, with particular regard to disturbance from noise and fumes
  • Parking provision, highway congestion and safety

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Plumstead Common Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset, and would adversely affect living conditions and highway safety, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh these harms.
