Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether future occupants would be likely to experience acceptable living conditions in terms of internal and external space provision, odour, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to future residents' living conditions in terms of noise, odour, and severely inadequate internal and external amenity space significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of housing supply and heritage preservation.
The benefits of housing delivery and preservation of a listed structure were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the unacceptable harm to future residents' living conditions in terms of noise, odour, and inadequate amenity space
