Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether the proposal would exacerbate demand for on-street parking
- Whether the proposal would be designed to achieve the required reductions in carbon emissions
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision against flood risk
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the Sheen Road Conservation Area through its poor design and scale, and the limited public benefits do not outweigh this less than substantial harm to the heritage asset.
