Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether pre-commencement conditions requiring submission of details of brickwork and gate/railings design are justified, given the appellant's refusal to agree to them prior to determination
What decided it
The Inspector found clear justification for pre-commencement conditions requiring details of brickwork and railings/gate design as fundamental to ensuring the proposal would preserve the significance of the listed building and preserve or enhance the conservation area character, which the appellant refused to agree to.
