Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting of the structure on the setting as it relates to the special interest of the nearby grade II listed buildings (Wharf House and Folly Bridge)
- Whether the siting of the structure would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Oxford Central (City and University) Conservation Area
- The effect of the siting of the structure on the setting of the Registered Park and Garden and the scheduled monument (Norman Grandpont Causeway)
- Its effect on the setting of the non-designated heritage assets (the warehouse and crane)
What decided it
The public benefits of the proposal were insufficient to outweigh the less than substantial harm to the special interest of the listed buildings and the character and appearance of the conservation area.
