Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effects of the proposed development on the setting of the grade II listed building, Station House
the effects of the proposed development on the settings of other listed buildings nearby
whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Richmond Conservation Area

What decided it

The less-than-substantial harm to the settings of listed buildings and the character and appearance of the conservation area, to which considerable importance and weight was given, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of a single dwelling.

The less-than-substantial harm to heritage assets was weighed against the limited public benefits of housing supply and an accessible dwelling, and the harm was found to outweigh the benefits.
