Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property
  • Whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Blackheath Park Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed rendered finish and blue/grey aluminium window frames would be materially at odds with the dominant yellow brick and brown window frames that characterise the estate and conservation area, creating unacceptable harm to its uniform appearance with no public benefits to justify the harm.
