Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve the listed building, or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses; and whether the character or appearance of the Carlton Husthwaite Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced
What decided it
The public benefits of the proposal, even cumulatively, were insufficient to outweigh the considerable importance and weight attached to the identified harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area, as required by the Framework's heritage protection policies.
The less than substantial harm to the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building and the character of the conservation area was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of investment in the fabric and removal of asbestos, as the Framework requires great weight to be given to conservation of heritage assets
