Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the Great Malvern Conservation Area, giving special regard to its effect on the host building as a Non-Designated Heritage Asset, and including its effect on trees
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of existing occupiers at Parkfield and whether the proposal would result in acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with regards to outdoor garden space
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Great Malvern Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset, which carries great weight and is not outweighed by the moderate weight of the housing supply benefit.
The moderate weight of the public benefits (two dwellings contributing to housing supply and local economic investment) does not outweigh the great weight applied to the less than substantial harm to the heritage significance of the Great Malvern Conservation Area.
