Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the significance of the grade II listed building known as 3 and 5 New Street, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Salisbury Conservation Area
- Whether the site is suitably located for the proposal with regard to the risk of flooding
What decided it
The considerable harm to the significance of the listed building and failure to preserve the character or appearance of the conservation area, which was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of delivering one additional dwelling.
The heritage harm (less than substantial but of considerable importance and weight) was weighed against the public benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits; the harm outweighed the benefits, which carried limited weight.
