Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the significance of the Lichfield City Conservation Area, The Queens Head Public House, a Grade II listed building and the Church of St Mary, a Grade II* listed building, through development within their settings
What decided it
The proposed building's increased scale, massing and prominence would harm the significance of the Conservation Area and fail to preserve the setting of the Grade II listed Queens Head Public House, and the public benefits of the scheme were insufficient to outweigh this heritage harm.
