Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect upon the provision of town centre uses and employment land
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host building, as a Building of Townscape Merit (BTM), and the area including the Twickenham Green Conservation Area (CA)
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of existing occupiers with regard to outlook and privacy
- The impact upon trees
- The effect of the proposal upon the safe and efficient operation of the local highway network
- Whether affordable housing is required to make the proposal acceptable in planning terms
- Land contamination
What decided it
The cumulative weight of multiple policy conflicts, particularly the deficient marketing evidence for loss of employment and town centre uses, the considerable heritage harm to the Conservation Area and Building of Townscape Merit that was not outweighed by modest public benefits, the unacceptable overlooking of neighbouring properties, and the inability to secure necessary planning obligations for parking restrictions and affordable housing contributions.
