Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the building represents a Non-Designated Heritage Asset
- whether any harm to the Non-Designated Heritage Asset is outweighed
What decided it
the significant harm to the historic environment from the total loss of the Non-Designated Heritage Asset was not clearly outweighed by the limited benefits of the scheme
the significant harm to the historic environment outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply, land reuse, and economic gain, so the balance tipped against the proposal
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HE1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 203Paragraph 205
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.
