Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works comprising two retractable awnings/canopies preserve the Grade II listed building, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- Whether the period specified in the enforcement notice for compliance is reasonable
What decided it
The visual prominence and physical damage caused by the awnings to the special architectural and historic interest of the Grade II listed building, combined with the absence of clear evidence that business viability depends on their retention, means the harm cannot be justified and is not outweighed by public benefits.
