Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the host property, which is a locally listed building, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Plumstead Common Conservation Area
- the living conditions of future occupiers of units F, G, H and I, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area caused by the disproportionate scale of the extension and the unacceptable living conditions for future occupants, which together outweigh the limited benefits of housing provision and flat improvements.
The less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area and unacceptable living conditions were not outweighed by the benefits of upgrading existing flats and providing new dwellings, which carried only very limited weight; the conservation of the Conservation Area is a matter of considerable importance and weight.
