Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the conditions are necessary to preserve the Grade II* listed building, Central Entrance Block to Bentley Priory or any features of special interest that it possesses

What decided it

The conditions failed the necessity test under paragraph 56 of the NPPF because the minimal and imperceptible difference in rooflight projection had a neutral effect on the listed building's significance and special interest.
