Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed Grosvenor House
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Headingly Hill, Hyde Park and Woodhouse Moor Conservation Area, including the effect on trees
- Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for housing with regard to the development plan
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area, individually and cumulatively assessed as less than substantial but of considerable importance, was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the scheme, and no clear and convincing justification existed for the harm.
