Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II listed building or any features of special architectural or historic interest it possesses
- Whether the proposed works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Barnsbury Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed extension would fail to preserve the special historic interest of the Grade II listed building by being too dominant and disrupting the harmonious arrangement of the rear closet wings, and the private benefits claimed by the appellant could not outweigh this harm in the absence of public benefit.
