Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed works would preserve the listed building or its setting or any features of special architectural or historic interest (or significance) which it possesses

What decided it

The grey paint colour diminishes the architectural significance of the listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area, causing less than substantial harm that cannot be justified by the minimal public benefit of the restoration work.
