Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, 35 King Street, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Whalley Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed new entrance created by removing a significant section of the historic garden wall would diminish the special interest of the listed building and fail to preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, with the harm not outweighed by the public benefits.
