Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposals on amenity and public safety, bearing in mind the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II* listed County Hall, the grade II listed buildings – (1) the Oxfordshire Light Infantry Memorial; (2) the New Road Baptist Chapel, and (3) the "national importance" of the Scheduled Monument, Oxford Castle, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Central Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the Central Conservation Area, and this harm was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the development.
