Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the host property as a non-designated heritage asset and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Chislehurst Conservation Area
What decided it
The visual prominence and material contrast of the proposed black metal gates with the traditional low white picket fence and the host property's appearance would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the non-designated heritage asset, with insufficient public benefit to outweigh this harm.
