Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the building and the Whiteladies Road Conservation Area
- whether the proposed development would make appropriate use of low carbon heating systems
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the building and the Whiteladies Road Conservation Area, combined with failure to use appropriate low carbon heating systems, outweighed the modest public benefits of housing provision and economic activity.
the less than substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Areas and significant harm to the building's character outweighed the modest public benefits of four dwellings, economic benefits, and improved thermal performance, given the great weight to be afforded to conservation of designated heritage assets
