Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the listed buildings and their settings and linked to that whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area, taking into account its effect on trees
  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living accommodation for future occupiers having particular regard to private amenity space, light and ventilation and privacy
  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The significant harm to the setting of the listed building and the conservation area, which in accordance with the Framework must be attributed great weight, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the proposal.

The moderate weight given to the provision of four residential units and limited economic benefits did not outweigh the great weight required to be given to the conservation of the listed building and conservation area, where the proposal would cause significant less-than-substantial harm to the former and less-than-substantial harm to the latter.
