Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the installation of insulation and changes to the internal layout, including the ensuite on the second floor, constitute a contravention of listed building control
  • Whether the use of vapour impermeable insulation materials is acceptable in a solid wall listed building

What decided it

The minor nature of the internal layout changes and the partition wall do not impinge on the building's special architectural or historic interest, but the use of impermeable insulation materials must be removed, albeit with an extended compliance period to allow prioritisation of urgent structural repairs.
