Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be in a suitable location having regard to its relationship with industrial and similar use areas
- Its effect on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to its effect on the setting of non-designated heritage assets
- Whether the loss of existing garden would accord with policy LP7 of the Wandsworth Local Plan 2023
- Flood risk issues
What decided it
The development conflicts with multiple development plan policies on Strategic Industrial Location protection, heritage asset settings, garden loss, and flood risk, and the public benefits of providing additional housing are insufficient to justify permission contrary to the development plan.
