Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed sub-division would create a suitable standard of living conditions for future occupiers
- Whether the proposed works would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Countesthorpe Conservation Area and preserve the setting of the Church of St Andrew, Main Street, a grade II listed building
- The proposed provision of on-site parking and its effect on highway safety
What decided it
The limited harm to heritage assets from the demolition works was outweighed by the public benefits of providing an additional dwelling and bringing the building back into productive use.
