Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
- whether the proposed development and works would preserve the Grade II listed building, 44 and 46 The Street, or the setting of the Grade II listed building, The Leg of Mutton and Cauliflower Public House
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The harm to the significance of two Grade II listed buildings, which would not be clearly outweighed by the limited-moderate public benefits of the proposal, provided a strong reason for refusal under paragraph 11.d of the Framework.
The limited-moderate public benefits of housing delivery and economic activity did not outweigh the considerable importance and weight given to the harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets.
