Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the scheme would preserve a Grade II listed building, its setting, or any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and whether it would also preserve the settings of adjacent listed buildings
  • the effects of the scheme on the living conditions of occupants of Hillside in relation to outlook

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building, which would not be outweighed by any public benefits, necessitated dismissal of the appeals.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area, attracting great weight and considerable importance respectively, was not outweighed by any identified public benefits, as the scheme would solely serve private benefit with negligible economic benefit.
