Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II* listed building, 12-21 Clapham Common North Side SW4, or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- Whether the proposal would harm the health of and/or prejudice the retention of trees on the site
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Clapham Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed glasshouse/conservatory would harm the special interest and significance of the Grade II* listed building and its setting by impeding views of the rear elevation, appearing incongruous, and departing from the established pattern of outbuilding placement, and the absence of an arboricultural report prevented assessment of tree impacts, such that the harm to the designated heritage assets was not outweighed by public benefits.
