Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposals would preserve the grade II listed building 'numbers 415 to 441 (odd) and attached iron railings, 415-441 Liverpool Road' and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
- the effect of the proposals on the character or appearance of the St Mary Magdalene Conservation Area (SMMCA)
What decided it
The harm to the special interest of the listed building and the appearance of the conservation area, being less than substantial but given considerable weight, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits arising from the proposals, which were essentially private in nature.
The less than substantial harm to the listed building and conservation area, to which considerable importance and weight was attached, was not outweighed by the limited public benefits identified, which were essentially private in nature and lacked substantive detail.
