Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the scheme would preserve a Grade II listed building, Southwick House, its setting, or any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses.
What decided it
The public benefits of the scheme would not outweigh the less than substantial harm caused to the significance of the listed building, as the extension would solely serve private occupants with no meaningful public benefit.
Less than substantial harm to the listed building and conservation area, attracting great weight and considerable importance respectively, was not outweighed by negligible private and economic benefits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ES10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 193Paragraph 194Paragraph 196
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
