Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the scheme has preserved or would preserve a Grade II* listed building or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- the effect of the scheme on bats
What decided it
The substantial harm to the Grade II* listed building's significance through concealment of its historic timber frame and other alterations, combined with failure to demonstrate adequate mitigation for protected bat species, could not be outweighed by any public benefits.
The substantial harm to the Grade II* listed building and less than substantial harm to its setting, attracting considerable importance and weight, were not outweighed by the identified public benefits, which either duplicated those of the approved scheme or attracted no weight.
