Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with specific regard to a protected tree, and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the South Norwood Conservation Area
- The Borough's Housing Supply, with particular regard to delivering three-bedroom properties
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the South Norwood Conservation Area from introducing built form on a currently open site that contributes to the historical layout and grand character of the villas is not outweighed by the modest contribution of two 2-bedroom dwellings to housing supply.
