Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the loss of a non-designated heritage asset would be justified, in terms of its heritage value, together with the loss of an existing residential building
  • The effect of the proposal on the significance of designated heritage assets at the appeal location, in particular the character or appearance of the host City Centre Conservation Area and the adjacent locally listed Carrow Bridge
  • The effect of the proposal on trees within the site, by reference to its location within the City Centre Conservation Area

What decided it

The unjustified loss of a non-designated heritage asset of local significance (the former bridge master's house) combined with appreciable harm to the heritage significance of the adjacent locally listed Carrow Bridge and the character of the City Centre Conservation Area, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh this harm.
