Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would conserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Woolwich Conservation Area
  • The effect on highway and pedestrian safety
  • Whether the proposal would constitute piecemeal development having regard to the area Masterplan

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the Woolwich Conservation Area character and appearance combined with significant adverse effects on pedestrian and highway safety outweighed the public benefits of the proposed hub.
