Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area, including the effect of the proposal on the significance of non-designated heritage assets
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal ceiling height
- Whether the proposed development would secure appropriate provision for affordable housing
What decided it
The discordant design of the proposed dwelling, which would be starkly at odds with the form, scale and appearance of adjacent buildings and would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, combined with the failure to meet London Plan ceiling height standards and the inability to secure the required affordable housing contribution.
