Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the amenity of the area, with particular regard to the setting of a grade II* listed building, the Church of the Holy Trinity, and the character and appearance of the Jesmond Conservation Area
- The effect on public safety
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the setting and significance of a grade II* listed building and the character of a conservation area, and would pose unmitigated public safety risks at a busy traffic junction, neither of which could be justified by the public benefits offered.
