Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Blackheath Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of adjacent residents with regards to noise
  • The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of future occupants with regards to outlook

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the Blackheath Conservation Area and would not preserve or enhance this designated heritage asset, with insufficient public benefits to justify the less than substantial harm identified.
