Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the setting of a Grade II listed building
  • whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants of Eastleigh House and the proposed retirement bungalows, with particular regard to the provision of outdoor amenity space

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building, which the moderate public benefits of the proposal could not outweigh, combined with the failure to provide satisfactory outdoor amenity space for future occupants.

the moderate weight of public benefits (housing for older people, economic benefits, housing supply contribution) did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the heritage asset's setting
