Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the non-designated heritage asset and whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area
- the living conditions of occupiers of Nos. 7-12 Howick Mansions, 831 Woolwich Road, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the conservation area and non-designated heritage asset, combined with the adverse impact on neighbouring outlook, was not justified by the housing and sustainability benefits, and the policies protecting designated heritage assets provided a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
