Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed building, known as 'Lakewood', including its setting, and its effect on the character and appearance of the site and its surroundings
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the special interest and setting of the Grade II listed building, when weighed against the stated public benefits, was of greater significance and outweighed those benefits in accordance with paragraphs 199 and 202 of the Framework.
The less than substantial harm to the special interest and setting of the Grade II listed building, together with harm to the character and appearance of the site and surroundings, outweighed the collective benefits of moderate and limited weight (heritage benefits from removal of poor extensions, housing supply contribution, environmental standards, and economic activity)
