Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Twickenham Riverside Conservation Area (the TRCA)
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring properties, with particular regard to the outlook and lighting of the first floor flat at No.27 York Street
What decided it
The harm to the designated heritage asset of the Twickenham Riverside Conservation Area and the non-designated Building of Townscape Merit, combined with the harmful impact on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through reduced daylight and oppressive outlook, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of providing additional housing.
