Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development preserves a Grade II listed building, or any of the features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses
  • whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Woodstock Conservation Area

What decided it

The awnings obscure key architectural features of special interest and significance to the listed building and fail to preserve or enhance the conservation area, with insufficient public benefits to outweigh the considerable harm caused.
