Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the setting and thereby the significance of the Grade II listed building known as 'Anise Warehouse'
- Whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Tower Bridge Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal upon the setting and thereby the significance of the St Saviours Dock Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of residential occupiers at Cinnamon Wharf, having particular regard to access to daylight
What decided it
The public benefits of the scheme did not outweigh the less than substantial harm caused to the heritage significance of the Grade II listed Anise Warehouse, combined with unacceptable daylight harm to neighbouring occupiers.
cumulative public benefits (economic, affordable workspace, biodiversity) outweighed the low-level less than substantial harm to the Tower Bridge Conservation Area but did not outweigh the noteworthy less than substantial harm to Anise Warehouse or the harm to neighbours' daylight, so the development plan conflict as a whole was not outweighed
