Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the grade II listed building Esher Place, 30 Esher Place Avenue, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- The effect of the proposal on the setting of the listed building
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the daylight within and the outlook from flats 1, 3, 4, and 6
- Whether the proposal should make a financial contribution to affordable housing
What decided it
The very considerable harm to the significance and setting of the grade II listed building outweighed the public benefits of the proposal.
the public benefits of the proposal, including housing delivery (significant weight) and economic benefits (moderate weight), did not outweigh the less than substantial (but very considerable) harm to the significance and setting of the listed building, to which considerable importance and weight, and great weight per the Framework, were given
