Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character or appearance of the Conservation Area and on the setting of nearby Listed Buildings

What decided it

The excessive height, form and appearance of the proposed building would cause less-than-substantial harm to the Conservation Area and the setting of nearby Listed Buildings, and this harm is not outweighed by the limited public benefits of delivering a single dwelling and commercial space.

The less-than-substantial harm to designated heritage assets, to which great weight must be given, outweighs the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic activity in a location where the Council cannot meet its housing targets

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: LP26LP33
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 202
