Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the proposed development would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building at Grays Inn
  • whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Wooburn Green Conservation Area

What decided it

The modest harm to the listed building's setting and limited harm to the conservation area's character, when weighed against the limited public benefits claimed, could not be justified under the statutory tests in the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and the National Planning Policy Framework.

Framework references: 202

Plan policies cited: CP9, CP11, DM31, DM35
