This policy statement doesn't seem to cover the detrimental effect to a listed building of a planned change/development to a property alongside that building

Policy 9.5 current wording is not 'Consistent with national policy'. The Policy advises that proposals for development affecting or within the vicinity of a Listed Building will only be permitted where these are sympathetic to its character and setting.
National policy directs that where a proposed development will lead to substantial harm to or total loss of significance of a designated heritage asset, a LPA should refuse consent unless the substantial harm or loss is necessary to achieve substantial public benefits that outweigh that harm or loss, or if the following apply:
The nature of the heritage asset prevents all reasonable uses of the site; and
No viable use of the heritage asset itself can be found in the medium term through appropriate marketing that will enable its conservation; and
Conservation by grant-funding or some form of charitable or public ownership is demonstrably not possible; and
The harm or loss is outweighed by the benefit of bringing the site back into use.
Alternatively, where a proposals leads to less than substantial harm to a designated heritage asset's significance, this harm should be weighed against the public benefits of the proposal.
