Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on nearby heritage assets and any features of special architectural and historic interest they may possess
  • Whether the living conditions of future occupiers would be suitable, with particular regard to noise
  • The effect of the proposal on flood risk

What decided it

The cumulative effect of moderate less-than-substantial heritage harm, unsuitable living conditions due to noise, and unmitigated flood risk, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh the identified harms.

The public benefits of housing delivery and brownfield reuse did not outweigh the moderate less-than-substantial harm to heritage assets and the unsuitable living conditions and flood risk concerns identified.
