Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve the setting of the Grade II* Registered Park and Garden, Stanley Park, and the Grade II listed Pavilion at East End of Main Section of Screen Wall and Screen Wall
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of adjoining neighbours with particular regard to noise and general activity
- The effect of the proposal on flood risk
What decided it
The proposal would preserve the setting of the heritage assets and, with appropriate conditions controlling noise and drainage, would not harm the living conditions of neighbours or increase flood risk.
The benefits of allowing the appeal were weighed against concerns about heritage setting, noise and flood risk; the Inspector found no harm to heritage assets and that appropriate conditions would mitigate noise and drainage concerns, allowing the appeal to proceed.
