Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, having particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the West Greenwich Conservation Area and the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building, The Morden Arms Public House, 1 Brand Street, in addition to the setting of adjacent properties, 28, 30 and 32 Circus Street (non-designated heritage asset)
What decided it
The substantial scale and incongruous design of the bike shed would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of designated and non-designated heritage assets, which public benefits of sustainable transport storage could not justify.
