Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the provision of affordable housing and the infrastructure and services necessary to support the proposed use
  • Whether the proposed development would preserve the Grade II listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses

What decided it

The submission of unilateral undertakings securing affordable housing contributions via a late-stage review mechanism and infrastructure contributions towards education, community facilities, social care and waste disposal, combined with the net beneficial heritage impact of the conversion and demolition of later extensions, made the development acceptable in accordance with the development plan.
