Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Cotham and Redland Conservation Area
- whether the proposed development would demonstrably mitigate its impact on climate change
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area, to which great weight was attached, was not outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme, and the failure to demonstrate mitigation of climate change impact through selection of the lowest carbon heating solution.
the less than substantial harm to the significance of the conservation area and the failure to demonstrably mitigate climate change impact were not outweighed by the public benefits of housing supply, economic benefits and site improvement
