Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the works on the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building

What decided it

The absence of sufficiently clearly defined public benefit to outweigh the less than substantial harm caused to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building by the unauthorised works.

Less than substantial harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building was not outweighed by the claimed public benefits of securing optimal use as a single residence, as the refurbishment could have been undertaken without the intrusive interventions and the benefits were primarily private.
