Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the non-designated heritage asset of the host property and on the wider Seaview Conservation Area
- Whether the proposal provides adequate mitigation for the Solent Special Protection Area
- Whether the proposal secures an appropriate contribution towards affordable housing
What decided it
The proposed windows would be in keeping with the existing pattern of fenestration on the front elevation of both church buildings, retaining the ecclesiastical character whilst introducing a residential use that accords with the prevailing land-use of the conservation area.
