Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the living conditions of the adjoining occupiers, with particular regard to the outlook for those at No. 5 Upper Brockley Road

What decided it

Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
