Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing building and the surrounding area, including on the Sydenham Thorpes Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future residents
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for cycle and bin storage
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Sydenham Thorpes Conservation Area through its adverse effect on the character and appearance of the building and wider terrace, which could not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of additional housing.
