Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, '28 and 29 High Street', 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 Stamford Conservation Area
What decided it
The vents' prominent position and discordant form undermine the listed building's historic integrity and detract from the conservation area's character, with insufficient public benefits to justify this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DE1Policy EN6Policy 8
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 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.
