Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Wanstead Park Conservation Area
What decided it
The less-than-substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Wanstead Park Conservation Area, which provided a strong reason for refusal that outweighed the modest benefits of the proposal and displaced the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
The less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area was not outweighed by the reduction of hard surface or the provision of a greater-needed housing type, with considerable weight attached to the presumption that preservation is desirable.
