Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Deptford High Street and St Paul's Church conservation area and other heritage assets
- Whether the proposal would harm the green infrastructure network
- Whether, in the absence of a planning obligation, the proposal would harm the provision of infrastructure in the area
What decided it
The lack of any mechanism to properly deal with the required infrastructure contributions in the absence of a planning obligation outweighed the benefits of the proposal.
