Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Streatham Lodge Estate Conservation Area
- Highway safety
What decided it
The sympathetic design with soft landscaping and privet hedging that would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area, combined with the negligible effect on parking provision and highway safety, outweighed the conflict with Policy Q14.
