Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Grove Park Conservation Area
  • whether it would provide suitable living conditions for its future occupiers by way of the internal layout and outlook
  • whether it would make adequate provision for cycle parking
  • the effect on flood risk

What decided it

The proposal would not preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area and would not provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers by way of internal layout and outlook.

The public benefits of improved housing mix and quality compared to the approved scheme would not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the conservation area, given that great weight must be given to the asset's conservation.
