Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development in each case would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Chislehurst Road, Petts Wood Conservation Area
What decided it
Appeal A: the proposed boundary wall and metal gates would unacceptably enclose the frontage and conflict with the prevailing open frontages characteristic of the conservation area, causing less than substantial harm with no public benefits to outweigh it. Appeal B: the extensions would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area through retention of distinctive design elements, matching materials, and respect for the rhythm and pattern of development.
Appeal A: less than substantial harm to the conservation area outweighed any private security benefits. Appeal B: no balancing exercise required as the proposal would preserve the conservation area character.
