Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building and its setting
What decided it
The lightweight, subordinate nature of the proposed glass extension and the enhancements to historical legibility from internal reconfiguration and window changes would preserve the significance of the listed building, outweighing the loss of less historically important fabric.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM 1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 195Paragraph 199Paragraph 200
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
