Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development or works would preserve the Grade II listed Duke of Fife former public house or any special historic or architectural features, including setting
- The effects of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to daylight or sunlight, outlook, external amenity space, and noise and disturbance
- Whether the development would accord with local policies with regard to sustainable transport, with particular regard to cycle storage
- Whether the development would accord with local policies with regard to refuse storage and collection
- Whether the development would accord with local policies and national guidance with regard to natural and cultural assets, including protected trees
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the listed building's setting and significance, combined with unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers and conflicts with local and national policies on heritage, design, amenity and natural resources, outweighed the public benefits of housing provision.
