Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, as well as the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area, bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of nearby listed buildings, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Camberwell Grove Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed double-glazed windows with modern glazing bars and sash horns would fail to preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building and would be discordant and inauthentic features that would detract from the building and disrupt the harmonious historic façade of the terrace, and the limited public benefits would not outweigh this considerable heritage harm.
