Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area with particular reference to the effects on the Shire Hill Hospital as a NDHA
- Whether it is viable to retain the former Hospital Ward Block as part of any redevelopment of the site and, if harm is identified in the first main issue, the weight to be given to the findings on viability in considering the appeal scheme
What decided it
Under the tilted balance engaged by the Council's shortfall in five-year housing land supply, the benefits of housing delivery and effective use of previously developed land outweighed the moderate-weight heritage harm to the non-designated heritage asset.
The considerable weight given to housing delivery (52 homes including 3 affordable, on previously developed land in a sustainable location) and moderate weight given to economic benefits outweighed the moderate weight given to conflict with Policy EQ7 arising from harm to the non-designated heritage asset, such that under the tilted balance the adverse effects did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.
