What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting of two conservation areas, when weighed against the housing benefits of a single dwelling, was not outweighed by the objective of boosting housing supply, particularly given the heritage protection policies engaged by paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the Framework.
The less than substantial harm to the Markwick Terrace Conservation Area and St Leonards North Conservation Area was not outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits, even when considering the objective of boosting significantly the supply of homes.
