Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the works on the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building 20 and 22 Ospringe Street
What decided it
The appeal window results in less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and character of the conservation area, which is not outweighed by any public benefits, as the residential viability of the building is already secured by the remainder of the scheme.
The harm to the heritage assets from the appeal window, although less than substantial, is not outweighed by public benefits; the private benefit of convenience to occupiers does not constitute a public benefit sufficient to justify the harm.
