Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve the grade II listed building 43 Turners Hill, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- whether it would preserve the setting of the listed building
- its effect on the character and appearance of the area
- whether it would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to shared garden size, privacy, waste and recycling storage
What decided it
The harm to the special historic interest and setting of the grade II listed building from the proposed first floor access opening and the proximity of the new building, which would not be outweighed by the heritage and public benefits of the proposal.
