  • Whether the proposal would preserve a Grade II listed building, Numbers 28-54 (Even) And Attached Railings Great Percy Street (Nos 28-54), and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • The extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the New River Conservation Area (NRCA)

The removal of one of only two remaining historic butterfly roof forms would harm the special interest of the Grade II listed building and the character of the New River Conservation Area, with no substantiated public benefits to justify this harm.
