The effect of the works on the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building (ground (e))

What decided it

The replacement of historic hand-made Staffordshire Blue clay tiles with uniform machine-made tiles and the removal of the historic chimney stack caused less than substantial but considerable harm to the listed building's special architectural and historic interest, with no clearly defined public benefits to justify this harm.

The less than substantial but considerable harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building was not outweighed by any clearly defined public benefits.
