Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area and the Turnham Green Conservation Area

- whether the development would comply with the development plan strategy in respect of carbon reduction and sustainability
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the Turnham Green Conservation Area through the incongruous design of the replacement dwelling, combined with failure to demonstrate compliance with carbon reduction and sustainability policies, outweighed the limited public benefits of the proposal.
