Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether temporary planning permission should be granted for the tower and ancillary development, having regard to the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether temporary planning permission should be granted for the tower and ancillary development, having regard to the effect on the significance of designated heritage assets
- Whether temporary planning permission should be granted for the tower and ancillary development, having regard to the effect on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residential property, having regard to outlook
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance, heritage asset significance and neighbouring living conditions, combined with insufficient evidence that the tower represents the most suitable alternative site and uncertainty over the timing of the office building works, means the public benefits do not outweigh the planning harm.
