Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development and works would preserve the grade II listed building known as 51 and 53 Ravensdowne or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- The effect the proposal would have on the character and appearance of the Berwick-upon-Tweed Conservation Area
What decided it
The public benefits of enabling electric vehicle charging and off-street parking would not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building and the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
The less than substantial harm to the listed building and Conservation Area was weighed against the limited public benefits of supporting low carbon vehicles and providing off-street parking; the harm outweighed the benefits.
