Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building, Lyndenhurst House, or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Dulwich Village Conservation Area
  • The effect of the development on protected trees
  • The effect of the development on biodiversity
  • Whether the proposal would be acceptable, having regard to relevant policies and guidance on fire safety

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building and the conservation area by physically severing the historic garden, and this harm was not outweighed by any clear and convincing public benefits.
