Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hedon Conservation Area
  • Whether it would preserve the setting of the nearby Grade I listed building Church of St Augustine and other nearby listed buildings

What decided it

The proposal's excessive height and unduly bulky massing, particularly the substantial rear wings with gable ends, would harmfully interrupt and distract from important views and vistas between the church and Market Place, thereby failing to preserve the settings of the nearby listed buildings and the character of the conservation area, and this harm could not be outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the scheme.
