Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and its surroundings, including the setting of 'Felix Hall', which is a listed building

What decided it

The proposed rooflights would cause very little or no harm to the host building or the setting of the listed building, while providing real functional benefits, and the exclusionary condition was therefore not necessary and should not be imposed.
