Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the building and the St George's Conservation Area
- the setting of 29 Rutland Street, a Grade II Listed Building
What decided it
The less-than-substantial harm to the St George's Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II Listed Building, combined with conflict with up-to-date design policies, outweighs the benefit of additional housing delivery.
the public and private benefits of the additional housing delivery would not outweigh the totality of the harm to heritage assets and design quality, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
