Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II listed buildings, 3-5 Palace Grove, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Belvedere Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the setting of the Grade II listed buildings and the character and appearance of the Belvedere Conservation Area, to which great weight must be given under the Framework, outweighs the modest public benefits of housing delivery and efficient site use.
The less than substantial harm to the designated heritage assets outweighs the limited benefits of housing delivery and efficient site use; the heritage harm is a matter of high order that demonstrably outweighs the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole
