Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed works would preserve the Grade II listed building known as Nos 30 and 31 Market Place, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses

What decided it

The absence of clear and convincing justification that the proposed works are fundamentally necessary to secure the building's optimum viable use meant the modest harm to the listed building's significance could not be outweighed by the public benefits claimed.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy HP2
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 199Paragraph 200Paragraph 201Paragraph 202

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
