Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, bearing in mind the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area, and the special attention that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of nearby listed buildings
- whether the proposed development would provide sufficiently high environmental standards to minimise its effects on climate change
- whether the planning obligations in relation to car-free housing and off-site cycle parking are reasonable and necessary to make the proposed development acceptable
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building and the significance of the conservation area, causing less than substantial but considerable harm that was not outweighed by the limited public benefit of providing a single residential unit.
