Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill Conservation Area
  • Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future residents, with particular reference to internal and private amenity space
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety with particular regard to car parking

What decided it

The proposed development would fail to preserve or enhance the conservation area's character and would provide unacceptable living conditions for future residents due to inadequate ceiling height and absence of private amenity space.
