Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposals in respect of historic integrity
  • the effects of the proposals in terms of the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties

What decided it

the public benefits of additional housing and social and economic benefits were outweighed by the less than substantial harm to historic integrity and the harm to living conditions of neighbouring occupants, such that the adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits
