Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The existence of a viable fallback position under the General Permitted Development Order, which would result in similar or greater harm, is a material consideration that outweighs the conflict with development plan policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy 15 of the Lewisham Core Strategy 2011, Policy 30 of the Development Management Local Plan 2014, Policy 31 of the Development Management Local Plan 2014
