Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade I Listed Building known as Town Hall, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Alnwick Conservation Area
What decided it
The modest scale of the interventions, the mitigation measures (demountable timber panel and conditions controlling method statements and joinery details), and the cultural and heritage value added by the artwork panel meant that the proposal would preserve the special interest and significance of the Grade I listed building and the character and appearance of the conservation area.
