Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character or appearance of the area including having regard to the significance of Wandsworth Common Conservation Area (WCCA)
  • the housing mix and density
  • trees

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Wandsworth Common Conservation Area caused by the prominent rear elevations, which required clear and convincing justification under paragraph 213 of the NPPF and was not outweighed by the limited public and private benefits of the proposal.

The limited public benefits (matching front elevations, economic benefits from CIL and construction jobs, environmental benefits from energy efficiency and landscaping) and private benefits to the elderly individual's wellbeing were not sufficient to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the Wandsworth Common Conservation Area.
