Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Park Town Estate Conservation Area and preserve the setting of the Grade II listed Church of St Philip

What decided it

The harm to the significance of the designated heritage assets—the conservation area and listed building setting—outweighs the private benefits of the proposal, and the great weight required by the Framework and statutory duties to conserve heritage assets cannot be overcome.

The great weight to be given to the conservation of the designated heritage assets outweighed the collective weight of the private benefits claimed, resulting in dismissal of the appeal
