Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Southgate Green Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area caused by the scale and massing of the proposed extensions, to which great weight must be given, outweighed the substantial public benefits of additional housing and commercial space.
The substantial public benefits of housing delivery and commercial space provision on a brownfield site did not outweigh the very significant weight attributed to the less than substantial harm to the conservation area, to which great weight must be given
