Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on heritage assets, including the Inner Windsor Conservation Area (the CA), the Grade II listed building 62-96 Grove Road (the LB) and Trinity Yard as a non-designated heritage asset (NDHA)
- the effects of the proposal on neighbouring occupiers at Grove Road and Temple Road with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- whether the proposal would be adequately designed, with particular regard to the privacy and amenity space afforded to future residents
What decided it
The inability of the scheme to protect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Grove Road and Temple Road, resulting in conflict with policies that the Framework indicates should lead to refusal.
the heritage harms were outweighed by the benefits of the scheme, but the harm to neighbouring occupiers' living conditions was not outweighed, so the Framework did not form a consideration of such weight as to indicate a decision other than in accordance with the development plan
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HE1HER.01HER.02QP3(m)QP3RES01
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Policy S4Policy DP3
