Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the site, the Wanstead Grove Conservation Area, and landscaping
  • Highway safety

What decided it

The proposal would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area and would create unacceptable highway safety hazards through potential vehicle overhang onto the public footpath due to insufficient on-site parking depth.
