Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and whether it would preserve the setting of a listed building
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building caused by the proposal's height, form and design, which would compete with and overshadow the listed building and alter the visual balance of the streetscape, outweighs the moderate benefit of providing 8 additional residential units, and paragraph 11(d)(i) of the Framework provides a clear reason for refusal.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building outweighs the moderate benefit of providing 8 additional residential units in an accessible location with a housing shortfall, and the Framework policies protecting heritage assets provide a clear reason for refusal notwithstanding the lack of five-year housing land supply
