Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the provision of employment land
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Twickenham Riverside Conservation Area and the setting of nearby historic buildings
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of 1 Chapel Road with regard to light and outlook
- Whether the proposal would make appropriate provision for affordable housing
What decided it
The proposed development would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the Twickenham Riverside Conservation Area, which was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of providing two dwellings.
