Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works would preserve the listed building, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the listed building's special interest and significance through extensive internal subdivision and loss of historic fabric, and the appellant failed to demonstrate clear and convincing justification that this specific scheme was the most appropriate solution, with insufficient evidence that alternative uses could not achieve comparable public benefits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CSTP24PMD4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 189Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 202
