Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works preserve the special architectural and historic interest of no 19 Caroline Buildings, a Grade II listed building.
What decided it
The use of modern cement-based plaster instead of traditional breathable lime-based plaster would cause less than substantial harm to the listed building's special interest that is not outweighed by the public benefits of addressing damp and maintaining occupation.
