Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal, including the demolition of a non-designated heritage asset, would preserve the setting of the grade II listed Malthouse
- Whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future residents with regard to outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The less-than-substantial harm to the setting of the listed building, to which the Framework requires great weight to be given, was not outweighed by the housing and economic benefits of the proposal.
The benefits of housing delivery and economic activity were outweighed by the less-than-substantial harm to the setting of the listed building, to which the Framework affords great weight; the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply because of the heritage harm.
