Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wandle Valley Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Wandle Valley Conservation Area caused by the incongruous mansard roof and dormer windows outweighed the public benefits of providing one additional residential unit.
