Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal, with particular reference to the single storey building, would preserve a Grade II listed building and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wandsworth Common Conservation Area
- Whether the proposal would make adequate provision for waste storage and servicing
What decided it
The harm to the Grade II listed building and conservation area from the incongruous contemporary design of the proposed classroom building, which would not be outweighed by the moderate public benefits claimed, particularly given that no increase in pupil numbers would occur and the school's existing facilities are adequate.
