Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would preserve the Grade II listed building, White Hart Hotel, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- Whether the proposals would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Lincoln Cathedral and City Centre Conservation Area
- The effect on the setting of the nearby listed buildings, including the Grade I listed Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Castle and Exchequergate
What decided it
The harm to the significance of designated heritage assets, particularly the Grade I listed Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle through damage to their historic relationship and setting, was not outweighed by the public benefits offered, as the Framework requires great weight to be given to the conservation of heritage assets of the highest importance.
