Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the above designated heritage assets
- the loss of open space and whether or not the replacement would be an equivalent or better in a suitable location
What decided it
The combined less-than-substantial heritage harm and the quantitatively and qualitatively inadequate replacement of the lost open space were not outweighed by the proposal's public benefits.
the public benefits, including housing delivery, affordable housing and funding for Syon House, did not outweigh the less-than-substantial heritage harm and the loss of open space, so the balance tipped against the proposal and in accordance with the development plan
