Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether it has been demonstrated that the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building known as '7 and 8, West Grove SE10' or any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- Whether the proposal would be acceptable with respect to its impact on trees
- Whether the proposed basement and lightwell would be acceptable with regard to impacts on pollution and flood risk and the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with particular regard to noise
What decided it
The modest scope of the proposed works, combined with the submission of updated technical assessments and revised drawings addressing previous concerns, demonstrated that the proposal could be carried out without harm to the listed building's significance or unacceptable impacts on neighbours, trees, or flood risk, provided conditions were imposed to secure further structural and construction management details.
