Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve the Grade II listed building, 199 and 200 Gilesgate, or any features of special architectural or historic interest which it possesses.
What decided it
The harm to the special interest and significance of the listed building, assessed as less than substantial but of considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the identified public benefits, which were primarily of private benefit to the appellant and could potentially be achieved in a more sympathetic way.
Framework references: 199, 200, 201, 202
