Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it

The harmful effect of the proposed rooflights on the roof's composition and their discordant appearance when viewed from the key view at Gayle Bridge, combined with insufficient public benefits to justify the harm, outweighed the acceptability of the internal works.
