Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development and works on the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building and whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the conservation area
What decided it
The public benefits of improved educational facilities and greatly enhanced accessibility for all users of the school, particularly the extended lift provision, outweighed the less than substantial harm to the listed building's special interest caused by the infilling of the rear elevation gap.
