Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the building and area
- whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the Grade I listed building, Morden College, and the extent to which the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Blackheath Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular reference to loss of privacy and outlook
- whether or not the proposal would have acceptable flood prevention and/or mitigation measures
What decided it
The harmful effect of the proposed two-storey side extension on the character and appearance of the conservation area by infilling the established gap between properties and eroding the open, spacious streetscene rhythm, which was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the scheme.
