Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the supply of housing in the area
What decided it
The loss of one housing unit in a borough failing to meet housing delivery targets, combined with the absence of evidence that the heritage works are dependent on the amalgamation or necessary to secure the building's viable use, tips the balance against the proposal despite modest heritage benefits.
the heritage benefits of the proposal, though real, are significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impact of reducing housing supply in a borough substantially below its delivery targets
