Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the setting of the Grade II listed building at 1 Wheelers Lane would be preserved
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of Wheelers Lane and the Stamford Green Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 85 Stamford Green Road, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building and the Stamford Green Conservation Area, both less than substantial but given great weight under the Framework, could not be outweighed by the public benefits of housing delivery despite the Council's significant shortfall in housing land supply.

The significant weight ascribed to housing delivery and the modest economic and employment benefits were insufficient to outweigh the great weight that the conservation of the designated heritage assets carries, resulting in the proposal failing to accord with the historic environment protection policies in the Framework.
