Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed Bristol Tramways Co Depot
- whether it would be at risk of flooding
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting and significance of the Grade II listed Bristol Tramways Co Depot could not be outweighed by the minor public benefits of additional housing and environmental measures.
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building was weighed against the minor public benefits of two additional market dwelling units and environmental benefits from solar panels; the harm was not outweighed by these benefits.
