Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbours
  • The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area
  • The effects of the proposal in relation to trees

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through its dominating and overbearing effect, and would harm the character and appearance of the Conservation Area through its visually awkward modern design that fails to align with the existing Edwardian streetscape.

Plan policies cited: Policy 15 of the Lewisham Core Strategy, Policy 16 of the Lewisham Core Strategy, Policy 30 of the Development Management Local Plan, Policy 31 of the Development Management Local Plan, Policy 33 of the Development Management Local Plan, Policy 36 of the Development Management Local Plan
