Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Charlwood Road and Lifford Street Conservation Area

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, when weighed against the housing benefits, was outweighed by the great weight required to be given to conservation of the designated heritage asset.

The benefits of housing delivery and sustainable location, attracting considerable weight, were outweighed by the great weight required to be given to the conservation of the significance of the conservation area
