Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, 25 Shipton Road, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- The extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Clifton Conservation Area
What decided it
The private benefits of additional living space were insufficient to outweigh the harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building, as the building's continued viable residential use did not depend on the proposal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D5 of the Publication Draft Local Plan (2018)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 197Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 202
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
