Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development upon the significance of the Grade II Listed Vine House and the character and appearance of the area
- Employment provision in the Borough
- The living conditions of future and neighbouring occupants in respect of outlook, daylight and noise
- Highway safety
- Flood risk
What decided it
The cumulative effect of heritage harm to the listed building setting, employment land loss, poor living conditions for future residents, inadequate agent of change mitigation for noise, and unresolved highway safety issues through lack of a planning obligation to secure the car-free status provided a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11 of the Framework.
