Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the listed building
- whether the proposal would be safe from flooding
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the listed building's setting that would not be outweighed by public benefits, and would not be safe from flooding as safe access and egress could not be assured.
The public benefits including jobs during construction would not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the heritage asset; the flood risk and heritage harm together provided clear reasons for refusal despite the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply.
