Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the local area bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II listed buildings, the former Methodist Chapel and The Newgate, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Chester City Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the significance of designated heritage assets, particularly the setting of the Grade II listed former Methodist Chapel and the character and appearance of the Chester City Conservation Area, outweighed the moderate economic and employment benefits.
The harm to designated heritage assets of considerable importance and weight was not outweighed by the moderate weight given to additional employment benefits, resulting in the proposal failing to preserve the setting of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area.
