Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the conditions are reasonable and necessary to protect the character and appearance of the street scene and preserve the features of special architectural or historic interest of the Grade II listed building and its setting
Whether Condition No 14 is reasonable and necessary to provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers of the new dwelling in respect of off-street parking provision

What decided it

The retention of part of the garage would be more harmful to the special historic interest of the listed building and its setting than the previously approved complete removal, and no public benefits were demonstrated to justify this harm against the statutory duty to preserve the listed building.
