Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the Barrow upon Soar Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II Listed Building at 47 Beveridge Street
- if any harm to heritage assets exists, whether or not this is outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme
What decided it
The identified less than substantial harm to the conservation area and the setting of the listed building, when weighed against the moderate public benefits of housing delivery, was not outweighed, and the considerable weight required to be given to heritage conservation under the LBCA Act and Framework meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan as a whole.
the moderate public benefits of delivering 6 additional dwellings on a windfall site in a sustainable location did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and the setting of the listed building, to which considerable weight was attributed
