- the setting and thereby the significance of the Grade II listed building, known as Kitchen Garden Walls, Fruit Rooms & Glasshouse
- the significance of the Grade II listed Registered Park and Garden, known as the Dunchurch Lodge Registered Park and Garden
What decided it
The significant public benefits from the cabins' continued support to the asylum system outweighed the less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets.
the great weight attached to the less than substantial harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets was outweighed by the significant public benefits from continuing support to the asylum system, tipping the paragraph 215 balance in favour of allowing the appeal
