Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the works and development would preserve the Grade II listed building and any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses, and the extent to which the character or appearance of the conservation area would be preserved or enhanced
What decided it
The proposed closet wing extension would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the listed building and conservation area, and the limited public benefits were insufficient to outweigh the great weight required to be given to conservation of these designated heritage assets.
