Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including with regard to designated and non-designated heritage assets
  • The living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to outdoor amenity space
  • Highway capacity and safety

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Cadogan Road Conservation Area and the setting of locally listed buildings, combined with the unsatisfactory outdoor amenity space and unresolved highway safety concerns, outweighed any benefits of the proposal.

The environmental performance of the proposed dwelling and limited economic benefits during construction did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and its heritage assets, and the adverse effects on living conditions and highway safety.
