Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area, with regard to the Romsey Conservation Area and the setting of the grade II listed building known as Tudor House, 52, The Hundred
- the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings, with regard to noise and odour
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the listed building's significance and the harmful impact on neighbouring living conditions from noise and odour were not outweighed by the modest economic benefits claimed.
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the listed building, combined with harmful impacts on neighbouring living conditions, outweighed the modest economic benefits of job creation and efficient use of land.
