Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II Listed Building at The Old Vicarage including its setting, and whether it would preserve or enhance the setting of the Kings Norton Conservation Area and other nearby listed buildings
- If there is any harm identified, whether such harm is outweighed by the personal circumstances put forward by the appellant
What decided it
The unacceptable effect of the development on the significance of designated heritage assets, particularly the Grade II listed building and its setting within the conservation area, could not be justified by the moderate personal circumstances of the appellants.
