Land Adjacent to 1 Castle Hill, Kenilworth, CV8 1NB

Planning appeal 3295111 at Land Adjacent to 1 Castle Hill, Kenilworth, CV8 1NB (Warwick District Council) was dismissed on 12 June 2023 by Inspector Sargent J, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether it would fail to preserve the special historic interest of a Grade II registered Park and Garden and harm its significance; whether it would harm the significance of the Grade II listed dwelling by reason of its impact on its setting; and whether it would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the Kenilworth Conservation Area, so harming its significance.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether it would fail to preserve the special historic interest of a Grade II registered Park and Garden and harm its significance; whether it would harm the significance of the Grade II listed dwelling by reason of its impact on its setting; and whether it would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the Kenilworth Conservation Area, so harming its significance
  • Whether any harm to the significance of designated heritage assets would be outweighed by public benefits

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to three designated heritage assets (the registered Park and Garden, the listed building, and the conservation area) was not outweighed by the public benefits of housing supply and environmental credentials.
