Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the removal and replacement of the fire surround affects the character of the building as one of special architectural or historic interest
  • Whether the works were essential and urgent works needed to preserve the listed building
  • Whether listed building consent ought to be granted for the works

What decided it

The replacement fire surround, though not matching the original early 19th century design, has limited visual impact on the special interest of the listed building and its materials and simplicity are compatible with the building's overall significance.
