Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building, 35 Woolton Street
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the Woolton Village Conservation Area

What decided it

The development's unsympathetic design, use of painted black cladding, height, and prominent position along Speke Road cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the listed building and conservation area that is not outweighed by the limited private benefits claimed.
