Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve the listed building, its setting and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and, linked to that, whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area

What decided it

The significant harm to the setting of the listed building and the less than substantial harm to the listed building and conservation area, to which great weight must be given under the Framework, outweighs the moderate public benefits of providing one additional dwelling.

The moderate public benefits of the proposal, including the provision of one additional residential unit and limited heritage benefits, do not outweigh the significant harm to the setting of the listed building and less than substantial harm to the listed building and conservation area, to which great weight must be attributed in accordance with the Framework

Framework references: 200, 11

Plan policies cited: Policy L7.1, Policy L1.10, Policy L2.2c, Policy R1.2, Policy R1.3, Policy R1.6
