Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue is the effect of the proposed development on the setting of a non-designated heritage asset (NDHA), known as the NLA tower.
What decided it
The Inspector's conclusion that the development would not harm the setting or significance of the non-designated heritage asset (the NLA tower).
The substantial benefits of housing delivery (including affordable housing), brownfield reuse and community/café facilities, combined with a finding of no harm to the setting of the NDHA and no significant residential amenity harm, meant there were no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify a decision otherwise than in accordance with the development plan.
