Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the existing dwelling comprises a non-designated heritage asset, and if so, whether there is clear justification for its loss when weighed against any benefits
What decided it
The combination of clear justification for the loss of the non-designated heritage asset (financial unviability of refurbishment and the genuine fallback position of likely demolition) outweighed by substantial public benefits of new housing provision, together with the absence of harm to character and appearance.
