Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The development's effect on the character and appearance of the locally listed host dwelling and the Bickley Park Conservation Area

What decided it

The development's visual prominence and incongruous urban boundary typology, eroding the semi-rural character of the Conservation Area, could not be justified by the limited private security benefits and minor economic gains.
