Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Rush Common Brixton Hill Conservation Area
the effect of the proposal on the significance of 95 Brixton Hill as a Grade II listed building, through development in its setting
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 91 and 93 Brixton Hill in respect of outlook, privacy, noise and disturbance and daylight/sunlight

What decided it

The proposed development would fail to preserve or enhance the conservation area's character, harm the setting of the listed building, and unacceptably impact neighbouring occupants' outlook and privacy, with these harms outweighing any limited public benefits.
