Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed works and development would preserve the special interest of the Grade II listed 32 Lansdowne Gardens or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • The effect of the proposed development on the supply of housing in the Borough

What decided it

The public benefits of restoring historic features and securing the optimum viable use of the listed building as two units outweigh the less than substantial harm to its significance and justify the loss of one residential unit.
