Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the existing building and the conservation area, including the setting of nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The substantial loss of a non-designated heritage asset and the resulting less than substantial harm to the conservation area and listed building settings, which could not be justified by the limited public benefit of flood risk reduction where alternatives had not been adequately explored.
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area and the setting of nearby listed buildings, weighed against the limited public benefit of flood risk reduction, tipped decisively against the proposal.
