Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future residents of the development with particular reference to outlook, natural light, noise and disturbance
- Whether the proposal would make adequate provision for cycle storage, waste facilities and collection
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, known as Bonded Warehouses, and any feature 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 Newcastle Central Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed building and conservation area that was not outweighed by the public benefits, particularly given unacceptable living conditions for future residents and inadequate cycle and waste storage provision.
