Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building known as 19 Main Street or its setting, or any features of special architectural interest that it possesses
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building and the character and appearance of the area was not outweighed by the limited public benefits, and insufficient information was submitted to assess the acceptability of the conversion works as a whole.
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed building, given considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of housing provision and community support.
