Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the effect of the proposed development on the setting and significance of Doveden Hall, a Grade II listed building, is undesirable
What decided it
The appeal building falls outside the setting and significance of Doveden Hall due to distance and intervening buildings, and its conversion would not alter the essential character or appearance in a way that would harm the listed building's heritage value.
