Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposals on the supply and choice of housing having regard to local and national planning policies
  • The effect of the proposals on the special interest of the Grade II listed building known as 29-38 Lansdowne Crescent and the character and appearance of the conservation area

What decided it

The conflict with housing supply policies in the development plan, which seek to address the overwhelming need for homes in the borough, could not be outweighed by the minor heritage benefits arising from the restoration of the listed building.
