Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works and development would preserve The Grapes public house, a Grade II listed building, including having regard to its setting
- Whether the Wandsworth Town Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced
What decided it
The proposed dwelling's bulk, proximity, and poor design response to the listed building's setting and the Conservation Area's character, combined with the existence of an already-approved alternative scheme that would cause less harm, meant the public benefits did not outweigh the identified heritage harm.
