Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the scheme on the architectural and historic significance of the building

What decided it

The benefits of removing the discordant modern rooflights and reinstating the historic roof timbers, combined with the creation of a better-quality habitable space, outweighed the less than substantial harm to the building's architectural significance caused by the insertion of proportionate, traditionally-designed dormer windows.
