Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Blackheath Conservation Area, and its effect on the significance of 18-22 Tranquil Vale as locally listed buildings
- highway safety, with particular regard to cycle parking
What decided it
The proposed first floor addition would harm the character and appearance of the Blackheath Conservation Area and the significance of locally listed buildings by disrupting the subordinate single-storey garage run and eroding the distinctive urban grain, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh this harm.
