Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing building and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Forest Hill Conservation Area

What decided it

The use of aluminium window frames and reduction in fenestration opening would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the limited public benefits identified could not outweigh this less than substantial harm.
