Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Common to both appeals, this is, the effect on Trelawn House (TH), a Grade 2 Listed Building (LB) and the Banbury Conservation Area (CA).
What decided it
The Inspector concluded that the design, scale and landscaping of the scheme preserved and enhanced the setting of Trelawn House and the Conservation Area, so the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole.
the substantial benefits of boosting housing supply for older persons, effective use of previously developed land and economic benefits would materially outweigh the limited less than substantial harm to Trelawn House and the Conservation Area under the Option 2 remedial works (Appeal B)
