Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers
- Whether the proposal is consistent with development plan policies relating to housing standards
What decided it
The excessive scale of the proposed building relative to its plot and neighbouring properties, combined with the harmful effects on privacy and outlook of adjoining occupiers, rendered the development incompatible with development plan policies on design quality and residential amenity.
Plan policies cited: Policy 15 of the Lewisham Core Strategy 2011, DM Policy 30 of the Lewisham Development Management Plan 2014, DM Policy 31 of the Lewisham Development Management Plan 2014, Policy 32 of the Lewisham Development Management Plan 2014, Policy D3 of the London Plan 2021
