Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Wivenhoe Conservation Area and existing building, and whether there is clear and convincing justification for any identified harm
What decided it
The demolition of the non-designated heritage asset and resulting less than substantial harm to the conservation area was not justified by clear and convincing evidence that retention is unviable, and the replacement dwellings would harm character and appearance through inappropriate density and form.
