Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the building fronting Park Cross Street should be considered to be curtilage listed
- Whether the works would preserve the special architectural or historic interest of the Grade II listed building at 9 East Parade and the setting of the nearby Grade I listed building Town Hall, Victoria Square, and whether the works would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Leeds City Centre conservation area
What decided it
The application of black paint to the historic brick façade would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the special interest of the listed building, the setting of the Grade I Town Hall, and the conservation area, which could not be justified by the claimed public benefits when alternative maintenance methods were available.
