Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the significance of the Wanstead Village CA
- the effect of the proposed development on the significance of the Wanstead Park CA, with regard to its setting
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to the provision of internal space and outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the Wanstead Village Conservation Area, which was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal, combined with the failure to demonstrate acceptable internal space standards for future occupiers.
The limited public benefits of delivering one additional 2-bedroom dwelling and housing supply contribution were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the significance of the Wanstead Village Conservation Area and the failure to meet internal space standards, with heritage protection policies providing a strong reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
