Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The main issue for both appeals is the effect of the development on the significance and special interest of Osidge, a Grade II listed building.

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building, Osidge, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the schemes.

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building was found to outweigh the moderate public benefits (housing delivery, economic benefits, housing mix and wheelchair provision), particularly given the extant Block 2 permission would deliver similar benefits without the harm.
