Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the building's demolition on protected species
- The loss of a Non-Designated Heritage Asset
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The loss of the Non-Designated Heritage Asset could not be justified as the appellant failed to demonstrate that demolition was unavoidable or that the modest benefits of the proposed dwellings would outweigh the harm to the heritage asset and the adverse effects on character and appearance.
