Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area in relation to designated and non-designated heritage assets, including any countervailing public benefits that may exist

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of designated and non-designated heritage assets, when weighed against public benefits of limited to moderate weight, does not satisfy the requirements of NPPF paragraphs 196 and 197.

The less than substantial harm to heritage assets and conservation area character, when weighed against public benefits of limited to moderate weight (socio-economic benefits and addressing dilapidation), does not outweigh the great weight required by the Framework for heritage conservation; the balance tipped against the proposal.
