- Inspector
- Holden S
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works and development would preserve the Grade II listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and whether the scheme would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Old Town Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed conversion would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants, having particular regard to outlook, light and privacy
- The effect of the proposed change of use on the business and leisure economy of the Old Town Cultural Quarter
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the special architectural interest of the Grade II listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area due to harmful alterations to the distinctive bay windows, combined with failure to provide adequate living conditions for future occupants.
