Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the significance of a non-designated heritage asset
- highway safety and the free flow of traffic
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the significance of a non-designated heritage asset and would have an unacceptable effect on highway safety and the free flow of traffic, with the benefits of re-use not outweighing these harms.
The benefits of bringing the building back into use and addressing its state of disrepair were outweighed by the considerable loss of heritage significance and the unacceptable effects on highway safety and traffic flow.
