Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would constitute high quality design and its effect on the character and appearance of the site and its surroundings, including the Old Town Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II* listed building, known as Blaydes House, and Grade II listed building, known as Pease Court

What decided it

The poor quality of design and the significantly harmful effect on the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the Grade II* listed building Blaydes House, which outweighed the public benefits of the scheme.

The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the Grade II* listed building, assessed as toward the higher end of less than substantial harm, outweighed the moderate social and economic benefits of housing delivery and brownfield redevelopment.
