Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the suitability of the size of the proposed flats, with particular reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the South Norwood Conservation Area
- whether a s106 is necessary to address the transport impacts of the proposed development
What decided it
The proposal's failure to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the South Norwood Conservation Area, combined with its conflict with the housing mix policy and the absence of a necessary section 106 agreement on transport impacts, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to justify approval.
