Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a grade II listed building or its setting, known as 51 Market Street, and any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ashby de la Zouch Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets, though less than substantial, carries great weight and is not outweighed by the minimal public benefits of the proposal, which would principally provide private benefit rather than public benefit.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D1Policy HE1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 212Paragraph 213Paragraph 214Paragraph 215
