Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the scheme would preserve a Grade II listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
What decided it
The proposed extension would fail to preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building by virtue of its incongruous design, form and poor integration with the existing building, and no public benefits were identified to outweigh the resulting less than substantial harm.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building, to which great weight was given, was not outweighed by any public benefits, as the extension would solely serve private benefit with negligible economic benefit from construction.
