Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing building and the East Cliff Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of residents of the existing ground floor flat from the proposed bike store
  • The effect of the proposed development on nationally and internationally designated sites

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the East Cliff Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset, which was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing four one-bedroomed dwellings and other modest benefits.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the East Cliff Conservation Area was not outweighed by the limited benefits of housing provision, support for local services, and investment during construction, particularly given the national importance of protecting heritage assets and the temporary nature of housing land supply issues relative to the permanent harm to the conservation area.
