Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed damp-proofing works preserve a Grade II listed building, Old Rose Cottage, and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
What decided it
The damp-proofing works caused irreversible harm to the historic fabric of the Grade II listed building that could not be justified by the public benefits offered, and granting consent would set a harmful precedent for future applications.
