Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works have preserved or would preserve a Grade II listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and whether the works have preserved or enhanced or would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Buckfastleigh Conservation Area
What decided it
The cementitious tanking caused harm to the fabric and significance of the Grade II listed building without clear and convincing justification as required by paragraph 200 of the NPPF, and this harm was not outweighed by public benefits.
