Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host properties, the terrace, and the significance of the locally listed buildings at No 26 and 28 Plumstead Common Road

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the host properties, terrace and wider street scene, and the harm to the significance of the adjacent locally listed buildings, outweighed the benefits of additional bedroom space and improved internal layout.
