Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building, with due regard to the Forest Gate Town Centre Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would lead to significant harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, and whilst the harm would be less than substantial, great weight must be attached to the conservation of this designated heritage asset with no public or other benefits to outweigh it.
the limited benefits of a single dwelling were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the host building and the less-than-substantial but weighty harm to the Conservation Area
