Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Conservation Area within which the site lies including the setting of nearby listed buildings
- the amenity of neighbouring residents, with particular regards to outlook, privacy and daylight
- whether the proposed development makes adequate provision for foul water disposal
What decided it
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the Conservation Area and listed building settings, combined with unacceptable harm to neighbouring residential amenity, outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits, particularly given the Framework's strong protection for designated heritage assets.
The modest public benefits of housing delivery and economic activity were insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area and listed buildings, and the unacceptable harm to neighbouring amenity; the Framework's protection for designated heritage assets provided a strong reason for refusal.
