What decided it
The restoration of the historic plan form and internal decorative features in the rear room, particularly the revelation of the hidden dentiled cornice, would amount to significant public benefits that outweigh any harm and enhance the heritage significance of the listed building.
The minor harm caused by alterations to the rear room and loss of part of the spine wall was heavily outweighed by the benefits of restoring the historic plan form and revealing hidden decorative features, thereby enhancing the heritage significance of the listed building.
