Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Woolwich Conservation Area
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The substantial harm to heritage assets resulting from the demolition of locally listed buildings and the incongruous replacement building would not be outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, contrary to paragraph 201 of the NPPF and local plan heritage policies.
