Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the special interest of The Cambridge Hotel, which is a Grade II listed building
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special interest of the listed building by subsuming the important southern elevation in modern materials that conflict with the building's historic and architectural character, and the public benefits do not outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy NHE9
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
