DCS Ref: 100-049-101 Inquiry Year of Decision: 2007 Inspector: J PAPWORTH
County: WEST SUSSEX Summary of Decision: ALLOWED
Abstract:
Assisted living compatible with listed building
Listed building consent and planning permission were authorised for the erection of 65 assisted living apartments in West Sussex, the council's concern regarding adverse impact to its character being overruled.
An inspector decided that the fabric and appearance of the listed building lacked quality and many of the proposed items of work involving its change of use would probably enhance the presentation and understanding of its architectural origins. Although further design work was required to the tower roof, this could be controlled through conditions he opined. The massing and contemporary design of the new build which would form an extension to the listed building was an acceptable response to its architectural importance he determined and allowed the appeals.
