Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon designated heritage assets, with particular reference to the character and appearance of Linthorpe Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II listed The Avenue Methodist Church
- whether the proposal would afford future occupiers of both the proposed dwelling and proposed neighbouring dwellings with adequate living conditions, with particular reference to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets, assessed as less than substantial but carrying considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Grade II listed church and conservation area, carrying considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the moderate benefits of housing delivery and efficient land use, and the minor social benefits of enabling the appellant's family to remain in the area.
