Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would prejudice the delivery of future development proposals within the appeal site
  • the effect of the scheme upon the character or appearance of the Duke Street Conservation Area (CA) and the setting of the Grade II Listed No. 57 Parr Street
  • the effect of the scheme upon highway safety, congestion, accessible car parking, sustainable travel and climate change
  • whether the surface water drainage of the development has been adequately addressed

What decided it

The identified public benefits of the proposal did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the heritage assets and the conflicts with development plan policies on highways, drainage, and heritage conservation.
