The proposed blocks have an overbearing appearance on the streetscene due to their size and poor design. The relationship of the size, siting, external appearance and scale of the blocks to the listed building is unacceptable." there are two other reasons given as well: the vehicle entrance was proposed to be on camberwell grove rather than grove lane but no justification given for this; and the loss of two trees at the south end of the site. a good result for camberwell, i think. st george have a reputation as the lowest of the low, and when you're talking about developers that is LOW. statement on southwark website re grove lane development:
