Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether satisfactory accommodation would be provided for future occupiers of the scheme, with particular regard to the provision of private outdoor amenity space
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Brockley Conservation Area
- whether the proposed development would result in the unacceptable loss of trees
What decided it
The proposed development fails to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers regarding private outdoor space, would harm the character and appearance of the designated Brockley Conservation Area, and would have an unacceptable effect on trees, with these harms not outweighed by the modest public benefits of housing delivery and brownfield redevelopment.
