Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of East India Estate Conservation Area
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to the standard of the accommodation
- the effect of the proposal upon highway and pedestrian safety
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for Biodiversity Net Gain
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for the storage of cycles and refuse
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area through backland development and loss of green space, combined with failures on living conditions, highway safety, biodiversity net gain, and refuse storage, could not be justified by the modest benefits of the proposal.
