Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including heritage assets
- The living conditions of occupiers of properties that are close to the site
What decided it
The total loss of a designated heritage asset of historic significance cannot be justified by the housing benefits proposed, which are not demonstrated to be substantial and could potentially be achieved through reuse of the existing building.
The benefits of additional housing supply, particularly smaller units, were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the total loss of a designated heritage asset that cannot be justified under paragraph 201 of the Framework
