Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve the Grade II listed Boswell House and Boswell Cottage, and curtilage listed structures, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which they possess, including setting
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of Boswell House, No 15 and Heathfield Gardens, with particular regard to outlook, external amenity space, noise and disturbance, and overlooking, and on the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to access, outlook and light
- Whether the development would accord with local plans with regard to refuse arrangements, servicing and reducing car dependency
What decided it
The loss of the curtilage-listed boundary wall, combined with the failure to preserve heritage assets and the multiple breaches of local and London Plan policies regarding character, living conditions, and servicing, provided no material considerations sufficient to outweigh the identified harms.
