Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works have preserved or would preserve a Grade II listed building, or any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The scheme has caused and would be likely to cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building, and the public benefits (potential heritage benefits from veranda and moulding works, and negligible economic benefits) are insufficient to outweigh this harm, combined with the fatal deficiency in supporting information preventing proper assessment of the works.
Less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building, to which great weight was attached, was not outweighed by the public benefits of the scheme (potential heritage benefits incapable of quantification and negligible economic benefits), resulting in dismissal.
