Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works 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 less than substantial harm to the special interest of the listed building caused by the intrusive partition was not outweighed by any public benefits, as the scheme would generate only negligible economic benefit and the private benefit to the occupants lacked justification by evidence of viability or necessity.
The less than substantial harm to the special interest of the listed building, to which great weight must be given, was not outweighed by public benefits, resulting in dismissal of the appeal.
