Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building of Barn Between Nos 8 and 10
- whether the level of proposed parking provision would be acceptable with particular regard to highway safety
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 15 Victory Avenue with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of a Grade II listed building, which provides a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework and outweighs the moderate public benefits and housing supply contribution.
the considerable harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building outweighed the moderate public benefits of re-use, housing supply and economic benefits, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development was not engaged due to the clear reason for refusal based on heritage protection
