Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, bearing in mind it would be within the Heigham Conservation Area and within the setting of the grade I listed Roman Catholic Cathedral of St John the Baptist, Earlham Road
- the living conditions of existing nearby residents (including existing residents of Earlham Court) with particular regard to privacy and light
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the Heigham Conservation Area and the setting and significance of the grade I listed Cathedral, which could not be outweighed by the public benefits of providing eight new dwellings.
